Smoke & Heat Alarm Certificate

We provide Smoke & Heat Alarm Certificates to ensure your smoke and heat alarms are compliant and your property meets all required safety regulations.

Requirements for Long-Term Rentals in Scotland​

​

Under Scottish law, from February 2022, all rental properties must meet specific fire safety standards:

​

• Smoke Alarms: Must be installed in the living room or room you use most, and every hallway or landing.

• Heat Alarms: Must be installed in kitchens.

• Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Required in rooms with a gas or solid fuel appliance.

• Interlinked Alarms: Smoke and heat alarms must be interlinked so that when one alarm is triggered, they all sound.

• Power Source: All alarms must be powered by mains electricity or sealed battery-powered alarms, with at least 5 years of battery life.

• Functionality Checks: Regular checks must be performed to ensure alarms are working correctly.

​​

​Landlords must also provide proof of compliance with the Smoke & Heat Alarm Certificate to their tenants and local authorities.

Smoke & Heat Alarm Installation and Replacement Services​

We also offer installation and replacement services for smoke and heat alarms to ensure your property is fully compliant with the latest regulations. If your alarms are outdated, non-functional, or simply need upgrading, we can install new alarms or replace existing ones to meet the required safety standards.
