Domestic fire system installer in Aylesbury

A reliable home fire system is an essential component in home fire safety and protection. 

For rented properties, Landlords MUST ensure their property has sufficient fire safety protection. Not only will this protect your property, but more so your tenants. As with any property there are areas within a home which are more at risk of a fire occurring. This is why there are specific recommendations for fire system installations for domestic properties to ensure every part of the property has sufficient fire protection. Paradigm Electrical Solutions are your local, registered electricians providing Landlord’s with effective and high quality fire systems.

British Standard BS5839-6:2019 outlines many specific standards relating to the installation of domestic fire systems. These requirements refer to rooms of a house that need higher protection, alarm codes and building regulations. At Paradigm we take all of these regulations into account when installing any type of fire alarm or sprinkler system. Our installers only work with the highest quality manufacturers ensuring your property fire system provides reliability at all times.  

Fire protection categories🔥

LD1 - Maximum Protection

For maximum protection against a fire, fire alarms and smoke detectors should be installed throughout the whole property to ensure occupants are quickly alerted from anywhere within the house. This includes all accessible escape routes, high risk areas and anywhere a fire could potentially start. The only rooms which don’t require any form of fire detection are bathrooms and wet-rooms. Guidelines set by the British Standard state that the following rooms should have SMOKE alarms installed:

  • Living rooms
  • Bedrooms 
  • Landings
  • Loft conversions
  • Airing or meter cupboards

It also states HEAT alarms should be installed within:

  • Kitchens 
  • Garages

As a Landlord you have the responsibility of ensuring your property is safe and meets all current fire safety regulations, this includes having the appropriate fire alarms in specific settings.

Fire safety advice for Landlords🧯

The UK government has introduced many fire safety protection regulations to protect tenants within rented properties. These rules MUST be followed by the Landlord - if you fail to do so, fines of up to £5000 could be issued. All Landlords must:

  • Ensure at least one smoke alarm is installed on each storey where there is any form of living or reception room. 
  • Ensure a carbon monoxide alarm is fitted in any space which contains a fixed combustion appliance. 
  • Ensure regular maintenance is carried out. If your tenant reports a faulty fire, smoke or carbon monoxide alarm this MUST be replaced immediately.

As a Landlord you should also ensure your tenants have easy access to multiple fire exits.
