Smoke Alarm Installation in Chafford Hundred

Chafford Hundred's housing was built from the 1990s onwards, and many properties were fitted with smoke alarms during construction as part of building regulations at the time. However, those alarms are now approaching or past their recommended ten-year service life, and sensors in alarms manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s can no longer be relied upon to detect fire reliably. Both landlords and owner-occupiers in Chafford Hundred should check the manufacture date on existing alarms — typically printed on the back of the unit — and replace any that are more than ten years old.

Landlords letting properties in Chafford Hundred are required to comply with the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2022, which means a smoke alarm on every floor and a CO alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance. We install to these requirements and provide a written record of every alarm fitted for landlord compliance files. Being based in nearby Tilbury, we can attend quickly and offer portfolio scheduling for landlords managing multiple properties across RM16.
