Hallo
my mate has 2 mains-powered smoke alarms which are not working properly and also are due for replacement according to a sticker on them.
Can he just remove them and use battery smoke alarms, or is there any kind of regulation re. removing mains-powered alarms?
The house is an old one (as opposed to a new build). There are 2 alarms - hall and landing, interconnected. The is no identified way on the CU, so is the power likely to be supplied from a ceiling rose?
thank you.
