Security · Fire detection
Detection that meets the standard.
Rentals and HMOs have to have working, correctly sited detection, and a landlord has to be able to prove it. We install interlinked smoke and heat alarm systems, certify them, and give you the paperwork.
Surveyed first,
then installed properly.
We establish what the property needs: room count, layout, storeys and whether it is a single let or an HMO.
Mains-powered interlinked smoke and heat alarms, so one triggering sounds them all.
Heat detection in kitchens, where a smoke alarm would only ever be a nuisance.
Higher-category systems where the licence or the council requires them, with panel and sounders.
Installed and certified by a qualified engineer, with the certificate you need for a licence or a tenancy.
Tested through, tenants shown how to test it, and the record written down.
From survey
to handover.
We look at the layout and confirm what category of system the property actually needs.
Devices, cabling, labour and certification, itemised in writing.
Fitted and interlinked, with making good, and minimum disruption to tenants.
Tested, certificated and documented, ready for your licence or your file.
Answered
plainly.
In England, at least one smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker. They must be working at the start of a tenancy. HMOs are usually held to a higher standard, set by the council and the licence.
All alarms sound together when any one detects. It matters because someone asleep upstairs needs to hear a fire that starts downstairs. It is required for many HMO categories and is good practice everywhere.
Normally yes. A smoke alarm in a kitchen gets disabled within a fortnight because it goes off making toast. A heat alarm gives you detection without the nuisance.
No. Commercial and larger multi-occupancy systems are usually expected to be installed and certified by a BAFE registered firm. GMAS Group does not hold BAFE, so we stick to domestic, rental and HMO detection and will refer you on if your building needs more.
Yes. You get an installation certificate from the engineer, which is what a council or a letting agent will ask to see.
