Alarm Types

Smoke, Heat & CO Alarms We Install

Four specialist alarm solutions for Glasgow properties. All interlinked, certified and compliant.

From £85 per alarm

Mains-Wired Smoke Alarms

Hardwired smoke detectors with battery backup installed on every level of your Glasgow property. Interlinked so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound. Compliant with Scottish Building Standards and the Tolerable Standard.

From £85 per alarm

Heat Alarms For Kitchens

Heat-detecting alarms for kitchens and cooking areas where smoke alarms would false-trigger. These activate at a fixed temperature threshold (typically 58°C) and are interlinked with your smoke alarm network for whole-property coverage.

From £95 per detector

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Mains-wired or battery-powered CO detectors for Glasgow homes with gas boilers, open fires, log burners or attached garages. We install them in the correct locations as specified by Scottish fire safety guidance.

From £450 per property

Interlinked Alarm Systems

Radio-interlinked or hardwired alarm networks that connect all smoke, heat and CO alarms across your property. When any detector triggers, every alarm sounds simultaneously — giving everyone maximum warning time to evacuate.

Scottish Fire Safety Law

Since February 2022, every home in Scotland must have interlinked smoke and heat alarms. This law applies to all property owners — not just landlords. Glasgow homeowners selling their property must confirm compliance.

  • Every home must have a smoke alarm in the living room and hallway
  • A smoke alarm must be installed on every stair landing
  • A heat alarm must be installed in every kitchen
  • All alarms must be interlinked (mains-wired or radio-linked)
  • A carbon monoxide detector is required where carbon-fuelled appliances exist
  • Alarms must meet BS EN 14604 (smoke) and BS 5446-2 (heat) standards
  • Mains-wired alarms with battery backup are strongly recommended
  • Failure to comply can affect property sales and insurance claims

Smoke & Heat Alarm FAQs

Common questions about alarm installation in Glasgow.

Mains-wired smoke and heat alarm installation in Glasgow costs £85-£130 per alarm including fitting, interlinking and certification. A typical 3-bedroom house needs 5-6 alarms (living room, hallway, landing, kitchen, bedrooms) costing £450-£700 total. Carbon monoxide detectors cost £95-£140 each.
Yes. Since February 2022, every home in Scotland must have interlinked smoke and heat alarms. The law applies to all homeowners, not just landlords. When buying or selling a property in Glasgow, the seller must confirm the property meets these requirements.
Yes, using radio-interlinked battery alarms. However, mains-wired alarms with battery backup are strongly recommended as they are more reliable, do not require annual battery replacement and meet the highest compliance standards. We install both options and will advise on the best solution for your Glasgow property.
Scottish law requires at least: one smoke alarm in the living room, one smoke alarm in every hallway or landing on each storey, and one heat alarm in every kitchen. A typical 2-storey Glasgow house needs 4-5 alarms. A flat needs 3-4. We assess your exact requirements during the free survey.
Yes, if your Glasgow property has any carbon-fuelled appliance such as a gas boiler, gas fire, open fire, log burner, coal stove or attached garage. The detector should be positioned in the same room as the appliance or, for boilers, in a location where it can be heard in sleeping areas.
Yes. All mains-wired smoke and heat alarms we install include a sealed lithium battery backup that activates automatically during a power cut. The backup battery typically lasts the full 10-year lifespan of the alarm, so there is no annual battery replacement required.
