Are you or your customers ready for the upcoming legislation?

Required: As an update to the 2015 legislation which only required CO alarms in a room with a solidfuel burning appliance, the new legislation requires that all social and private landlords in England must install a CO alarm in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance (boilers, water heaters, gas fires, cookers, other than gas cookers).

The updated CO alarm requirement is in addition to the requirement for a smoke alarm on each level of the home. Whilst there are no specific requirements as to the grade of smoke alarm and interconnectivity, mains-powered and interconnecting smoke alarms are still required for new build or materially altered properties that must comply with Approved Document B.
