- The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.
