So's your car, getting you to work etc. But whilst doing a job it can look nice too.

Looking for Smoke and heat alarms for the house. Wired, relay, average price. But most importantly doesn't make it look like a student house/ cheap B&B i.e. Aico EI151 There must be decent reliable Smoke Alarms that actually look nice. Thanks

Cheers for the reply. In reply as I'm no 100 % sure on all of it Going to take them down and start again I had some bodgit and scarper merchants in, so now doing things DIY. Yep aiming for the regs. Downstairs steels all fine and passed, though that was just taking out a brick wall. These...
