Interlinked Smoke Detector Installation in Glasgow & Central Scotland - Bunker Alarms

Scottish law smoke detection in homes

Recent changes in the law and standards mean that all homes in Scotland (owned & rented) must now have improved smoke and fire protection.

Every home in Scotland must have:

a smoke alarm in the living room and all circulation spaces such as hallways and landings
a heat alarm in every kitchen
all alarms should be ceiling mounted and interlinked
a carbon monoxide alarm where there are fixed combustion appliances (boilers & wood burners)

We can assist our commercial clients with automatic fire detection systems for their properties.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Scottish smoke alarm requirements for 2024?

Since February 2022, all Scottish homes must have interlinked fire alarms. This means: a smoke alarm in every living room, a smoke alarm in every hallway and landing, a heat alarm in every kitchen, and a carbon monoxide detector near any fuel-burning appliance. All alarms must be ceiling-mounted and interlinked so when one sounds, they all sound. This applies to owned and rented properties.

How much does it cost to install interlinked smoke alarms in Scotland?

Professional installation of a compliant interlinked smoke alarm system typically costs £250-£450 for an average 3-bedroom home. This includes all required smoke alarms, heat alarm, CO detector, and installation. The exact cost depends on your property size and the number of rooms. We provide free quotes and can usually complete installation in 2-3 hours.

Do smoke alarms need to be hardwired in Scotland?

No, Scottish regulations allow both hardwired and sealed battery interlinked alarms. Modern sealed lithium battery alarms last 10 years and are fully compliant with the law. They're often more practical for existing homes as they don't require electrical work. We install Aico brand alarms which are wireless interlinked and meet all Scottish Building Standards.
