Hello All, I have just installed 3 mains smoke alarms. Wireless...all work fine.
In the buildings regs it states 300mm from light fitting, and 300mm from edge of wall..
This particular property with its loft extension, was not easy to comply..
First Floor...Sited correctly, no problems.
Second Floor... 300mm from light, but next to wall..
Third Floor.. installed on wall, within first 12 inches from ceiling..
Building inspector failed the second two.
Now I might be wrong, and this is the beauty of forums for a second opinion, but can the siting of my smoke alarms be legit, i seem to recall that they can be wall mounted, but for the life of me, I cant find suitable info to back it up....Regards
(will be ringing aico tommorow for another opinion)
