Smoke/heat alarms, linked or not

See 1.13 of said document which I think you have done where circulation space is referred to and although strictly speaking this does refer to hallways and landings the wc has allowed the extension to become so and hence linking is required. I am somewhat surprised the wc location was approved without a door in the new extension to lead to a place of safety.

There is a door leading out to the garden in the new extension, as well as patio doors round the corner. I did not draw them in the sketch.

Escape route leading out to the street.It is no good into the garden which is classed as a closed space probably with a locked back gate.

It's not the builder's fault they rely upon us electricians to tell them we are at the end of the day are supposed to up to speed with all this.

Still the builders dont help sometimes; so another question. If in the future a one room extension came up, then it would not be enough for me to install a single smoke in that room; I would in effect be possessing the entire building in relation to fire escape routes and would need to install alarms where needed, even if they need tobe installed in a remote part of the building from where im doing the main work. ?

Now we have the full story . Fit the interlinked units and send the client the bill.

You are in this case refer to building regs and fire detection/alarms in domestic dwellings. It used to be the case (maybe not now) but building regs only required S/D for escape routes whereas B.S. used to include kitchens and habitable rooms eg lounge. I believe the case is that where an extension is being done smoke detection would need to be installed to escape routes which may part of the existing dwelling.

If said extension is being done with BCO involved ask them ......

Don't rely on what Bob the Builder says .........
