Thanks for that. I was hoping someone could tell me what the requirement is according to building regulationsIt's your life, so I guess it depends how much you care about that.
Thanks! I dont think ive got any other risk areas in the house. The bco is due on monday so ill clear it by him. One heat alarm in the kitchen and one smoke alarm in the circulation space on each floor, all mains powered and interlinked is what I had in mind as well.You need a smoke detector on each floor (not on the floor) in the circulation space and you will need a heat detector in the kitchen area as it's open plan. All these need to be mains powered and interlinked to what is called a Grade D, LD3 system.
You don't say if you have any other high risk areas, but if you did they would require a detector of some sort too.
I agree. Is this a smoke detector, heat detector or both?Nest ones are less horrific than most.

Thanks. The fibro smoke detector looks the part. It has a heat detector which is great. The problem s that most smoke detectors get triggered easily in the kitchen hence why they recommend a heat only sensor in the kitchen and a smoke/heat detector in the circulation area. So can the Fibro detector be installed it in the kitchen? Can it be operated as a heat only detectorCheck out the Fibaro smoke detectors. They have built in heat detection too and can be operated by battery or mains.
They are meant for z-wave wireless home automation systems but they work standalone too. I have one. Check it out on Amazon or better still from Vesternet.
