Do you need to upgrade all the smoke alarms when extending a property, or can you just install detection in the new area?
In this video, we break down the fire detection requirements for house extensions, loft conversions, dormer conversions, bungalows, conservatories and permitted development projects. We'll explain how Approved Document B, BS 5839-6, Building Regulations and Building Control assess fire safety, escape routes and smoke alarm systems across the whole dwelling, not just the new work.
We also show how we upgraded a property using the FireAngel Specification Range, Smart RF technology, hybrid interlinked alarms, carbon monoxide detection, Grade D1 systems and LD2 fire detection without lifting floorboards or chasing walls.
