Smoke detectors compulsory in rental property

Smoke detectors compulsory in rental property

We guarantee it will be 15% cheaper than your current supplier.

From 1 July 2022, Smoke alarms compulsory in rental properties. This means that every existing rental property, from apartment blocks to terraced houses, must have a smoke alarm system installed. The decision to mandate smoke alarms will significantly increase safety in homes. When existing rental properties were built, smoke alarms were not installed as standard in the buildings. The absence of a reliable fire detection system creates an unsafe situation for residents and bystanders. 

A smoke alarm warns you the moment a fire breaks out. Because you receive a timely signal, you have enough time to extinguish the spreading fire or to leave your home. To increase safety in rental properties, VVEs (Associations of Owners) and housing corporations are obliged to install smoke alarms in the building. As an experienced fire protection company, we specialise in all types of Fire alarm systems, from fire extinguishing systems to escape routes.

We have experience with large parties such as VVE's and housing associations. For every rental property or flat, we create a safe and reliable situation.

The benefits of our collaboration:

  • Own software system for the registration of desired data. This allows for customisation.
  • Our mechanics create a site sketch for each project, so that the smoke detectors are fitted in the correct positions.
  • We manage the entire project from start to finish.
  • Flame Control BV exclusively installs smoke detectors with a 10-year warranty on both the battery and the detector.

The number of smoke detectors required for a rental property depends on local regulations, which can vary by region. It is advisable to check with your local council or relevant housing authority for the specific requirements in your area.

As smoke alarms are becoming mandatory in rental properties, finding the right supplier is important. Flame Control BV creates a safe environment, ensuring every house or flat meets all quality requirements. Do you have a multi-storey rental property? Then there must be at least one smoke alarm per floor, from the ground floor to the attic. In case of a flashover fire, the sound can be clearly heard on every floor. In addition, enclosed spaces through which an escape route passes must be equipped with a smoke alarm. Is there a single-storey flat? A safe environment is created with just one smoke alarm. The smoke alarms detect the smoke immediately and will alert all residents in time.

Which smoke alarms are suitable for a house or flat?

In principle, every battery-powered smoke alarm is suitable. However, there is a significant difference in the quality and effectiveness of smoke alarms. We recommend not to cut corners on smoke alarms and choose the cheapest system. There are cheap smoke alarms on the market, where the battery needs to be replaced quite frequently. Because a reliable and high-quality smoke alarm can save lives, we only install professional smoke alarms that last at least 10 years.

As smoke detectors are now mandatory in existing rental properties, opt for a sustainable and safe smoke detector. Flame Control BV is the specialist that supplies and installs reliable models. Our models comply with all safety requirements, so you don't have to worry about your safety. We also install advanced smoke detectors with a linking function. When smoke is detected on the top floor, the alarm will also sound on the other floors and any other rooms where a smoke detector is fitted.
