Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Faye Clay 10/08/2015
From the 1st October 2015, it will be mandatory for all landlords and managing agents to ensure that all smoke and co2 alarms are installed and properly checked before each new tenancy to ensure they are in good working order.
The test button on the device only checks to see whether the battery is working by sounding the alarm and not the sensors.
Checking and testing the sensor is the best way to properly ensure that the co2 alarm is in working order and must be carried out every 12 months.
Sensors have limited life expectancy.
