Mains Smoke & Heat Alarm Installation In Steyning & Horsham

Mains-powered alarms are far more reliable. They don't rely on you remembering to swap out a 9V battery every year, and they are now the standard requirement for most home renovations and all rental properties. Modern Grade D1 alarms have a backup battery that lasts for many years, so you stay protected even if the main power goes off.

This is the British Standard that covers fire detection in domestic homes. It sets out exactly how many alarms you need and where they should be placed to give you enough time to escape in an emergency. When we visit your Steyning home, we look at the layout and make sure your system follows these safety guidelines perfectly.

Every home is different, but a typical setup involves a smoke alarm in the main hallway, another on the landing, and a heat detector in the kitchen. If you have a basement, a large attic conversion, or a remote living room, we might suggest extra units. The aim is to make sure the alarm is loud enough to wake everyone up, regardless of where the fire starts.

We have plenty of experience working with the historic flint and timber buildings in the area. We use careful routing for all cables to avoid damaging old beams or lath-and-plaster ceilings. We aim to make the installation look as discreet as possible so it doesn't spoil the look of your home.
