Alarms Suitable for Welsh Landlord Regulations

From the 15th July 2022 The Renting Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) (Wales) Regulations 2022 requires all landlords in Wales to ensure their rented properties are fitted with mains-powered smoke alarms which are interlinked to each other. (For social housing landlords, please see England & Wales Social Housing Regulation Alarms 2022).

There should be at least one smoke alarm installed on each storey of the property. Additionally a carbon monoxide alarm is required in each room that contains a gas, oil or solid fuel burning appliance or flue.

Power Supply: All smoke and heat alarms must be primarily mains-powered via either a dedicated mains circuit on the distribution board or via a local mains supply circuit such as a lighting circuit.

Interlink: All smoke and heat alarms must be interlinked either via hard-wire interlink cable or by radio-frequency (RF) connection. Carbon monoxide alarms do not need to be interlinked with the other alarms.
