Our Comprehensive Smoke & Heat Alarm Services

At Safe Sparky, we’re committed to safeguarding homes with professional, code-compliant alarm solutions. Our NICEIC/NAPIT-certified electricians provide reliable installation, maintenance, and repairs — so your alarms will always be ready when you need them the most.


Smoke Alarm Installation & Replacement

Your home’s safety starts with correctly placed, fully functioning smoke alarms. Our certified electricians install alarms in key areas, including:

  • Bedrooms

  • Hallways and landings

  • Lofts

  • Living spaces

  • Basements

We’ll help you choose the right type of smoke alarm for your home — photoelectric (optical), ionisation, or interconnected alarms with battery backup.

If your smoke alarms are over 10 years old, they should be replaced. We’ll upgrade your system to modern, compliant alarms for maximum protection.


Heat Alarm Installation

Heat alarms are essential for areas where smoke alarms may trigger false alarms, such as:

  • Kitchens

  • Garages

  • Boiler rooms

  • Utility areas

They detect rapid rises in temperature rather than smoke, making them perfect for high-risk spaces. All heat alarms are installed in line with UK fire safety regulations.


Smoke & Heat Alarm Repairs

Faulty alarms are a serious risk. Whether yours keeps beeping, won’t activate, or has stopped responding, our electricians will quickly diagnose and fix the issue.

We can repair:

  • Faulty wiring

  • Failed sensors

  • Damaged mounting points

  • Backup power problems

  • Interlinked system faults

Repairs are carried out safely and promptly — giving you confidence your alarms will work when it matters.


Smoke & Heat Alarm Maintenance

Like all safety systems, alarms need periodic checks to stay reliable. Our maintenance services include:

  • Full system inspection

  • Alarm sound testing

  • Sensor cleaning and checks

  • Battery replacements

  • Hardwired circuit checks

  • Testing of interlinked alarms

We keep your home’s safety system in top condition all year round.


Combination Smoke, Heat & CO Alarms

For maximum protection, we also install modern combination alarms that detect:

  • Smoke

  • Heat

  • Carbon monoxide

These multi-function alarms offer complete coverage in one device. Available in both battery-powered and hardwired options, they are ideal for simplifying your home’s safety system.
