Thanks to all for your help. I think I'll get an electrician to have a look especially if the plates are not supposed to be attached directly to the ceiling, we bought the house from new and that's how they've been installed by the contractor so now I'm worried enough to get it all checked...
This is the wiring once I've removed the old smoke alarms:
and this is the connector on the new smoke alarm
I have an extra wire and nowhere to connect it to :?
Hi TCC
I have live, neutral and an interlink on the new alarms (Kidde) but when I removed the old ones I have live, 2 neutrals and an interlink so I'm not sure what to do with two neutrals when I was only expecting to find one.

Hi
I'm looking for some help if possible. I've bought two new smoke alarms to replace old ones. I thought this was going to be straight forward (isn't that always the case?!) but when I've removed the old ones I have two neutral wires but only one neutral connection on the new ones...
