Smoke Alarms
There should be at least one smoke alarm for each level in the property. For example a 3 bedroom house would normally have 1 x smoke alarm located perhaps in the lounge or entrance hallway. The alarm to the next level would normally be located in the landing.
Some properties also have a heat sensor alarm located in the kitchen area. Carbon monoxide alarms(s) are common even when there are no solid burning fuel units at the property.
All alarms should be listed and push-button tested
State where the alarm is located; for example:
Location: Entrance hallway
Landing
Test each alarm by pushing the test button and note whether you have heard a ‘bleep’ or not and indicate the result:
Test Result: Alarm push-button tested. Bleep heard / not heard (delete where applicable)
Please Note: Replacement of batteries are your responsibility, however, if the alarm is a sealed unit or mains connected and you cannot hear a ‘bleep’ then state this in your comments.
