We had the fire service come round ours and they installed the Fire Angel ST-750 https://www.fireangel.co.uk/products/st-750. You can't get any easier to install than that.


Most of the battery operated ones are all pretty similar to install: find a joist in the ceiling in an appropriate place, screw the smoke alarm's base plate to it, attach smoke alarm and test.


How to Install A Fire Alarm

Hi all - does anyone have any recommendation for smoke alarm NOT operated by batteries? I have alarms in most rooms & have to replace 9V batteries once a year.

Im concerned on my impact on the environment and would like to find a greener solution please. Any recommendation would be much appreciated!!


Mark - thanks for the recommendation! On the website they mentioned 10-year battery powered. Has it worked so far please / how long have you had it for?


Thanks all!

Catherine

You can get 10-year smoke and heat sensor alarms (see: https://www.safefiredirect.co.uk/smoke-fire-gas-detection/smoke-heat-detectors/10-year-smoke-detectors.aspx and https://www.screwfix.com/p/fireangel-tst-620q-10-year-thermoptek-smoke-alarm-2-pack/42801 for examples). I have a ten-year heat sensor alarm in my kitchen. They use long life lithium batteries, but are 'sealed for life' so you would have to replace the unit after ten years.

Hi all - just to tell you that I organised the home safety visit from the London Fire Brigade as Sue kindly recommended. A massive thank you!!!


The firemen came earlier and were very kind and helpful (aren't they always!). They gave me precise advice on alarms (types, numbers, location..) safety route, safety tips etc. They also kindly installed their 10-year alarms in my home for free. Best service ever!!


Details on how to book can be found there if you are interested:

I hope this helps!


Best

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
