What are the fire alarm requirements for homes in Scotland?
Scottish law requires most homes to have interlinked fire alarms that provide early warning throughout the property.
Since February 2022, all homes in Scotland must meet the requirements of the Scottish Government’s Tolerable Standard for fire and smoke alarms. In most properties this means having interlinked smoke alarms installed in key living areas, circulation spaces such as hallways and landings, and a heat alarm in the kitchen. The alarms must communicate with each other so that if one activates, all alarms sound throughout the home. While homeowners are responsible for ensuring their property complies, professionally installed and maintained fire alarm systems provide reassurance that the system is correctly designed, positioned and operating effectively. CSS can assess existing systems, advise on compliance requirements and install or maintain domestic fire alarms for homeowners throughout Aberdeen and across Scotland.

How often should a domestic fire alarm be serviced?
Regular servicing helps ensure reliable operation when you need it most.
Like any safety system, fire alarms should be inspected and tested periodically to ensure they continue to operate correctly. Over time, detectors can become contaminated with dust, batteries can deteriorate and components may develop faults.
