Requirement for Fire alarms to be hard wired / interlinked
Tom Sutton replied to a topic in Landlords
The only legislation in England is The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 which it does not state it has to be linked to the mains but it is good advice and worth considering. -
This is a legal matter not a fire safety matter, get solicitors advice.

What is the location of these doors, do they open onto an escape route or directly outside?
-
Without detailed information and the layout of the premises it is impossible to say.

No it all depends on the layout of the bungalow and travel distances.

There is lots of terrace houses the do not have access to the rear of the property, I cannot see this being different but you could contact the fire service and see what they have to say.

I have no information on the fire risk of a modems but if you are concerned conduct a fire risk assessment and provide active fire protection if necessary.

When selling flat, do I need a fire risk assessment?
Tom Sutton replied to a topic in Fire Risk Assessments
The freeholder would be the Responsible Person if you all share the freehold then you share the duties of the RP. -
I would not think so, because all occupant do not need to pass the flat or service cupboards to reach a staircase and it would be unlikely for smoke logging to occur.
-
It will apply to the common areas of your premises.
-
Why can't you open the windows in the warm weather?
-
See above answer.
-
I would think a modification certificate as you are not installing a complete system only modifying an existing system. My reasoning is, you are not responsible for what exists and the installation certificate should cover that.

Sprinkler coverage above electric car charging points
Tom Sutton replied to Jack.R's topic in Sprinklers
I am not aware of any guides or standards that would cover this issue and it will be sometime before we get any information on this new situation that could help. -
Electrical equipment (CCTV) located in escape route
Tom Sutton replied to a topic in Other Fire Safety Products
It all depends on the fire risk assessor and the level of fire risk he/she considers it to be. Fitting AFD would mitigate that risk that is why I asked. -
I cut fire safety labels off, do I now need to buy new??
Tom Sutton replied to a topic in Passive Fire Protection
Strictly speaking, No but you do have moral duty to inform the purchaser that the item of furniture does not meet the regulations. -
I would consider it a possible obstruction and also a fire risk due to the table lights, therefore an unnecessary risk
