It just crossed my path that some new regulations are due to be introduced in October regarding the provision of smoke and CO ( Carbon Monoxide, not Conservation Officers..... although maybe in some circumstances it might be handy to be alerted to those on the prowl too :lol: ) alarms.
The legislation at present seems to only exist in draft format and therefore there may be slight revisions. In case any of you have or manage tenants or are even contemplating selling on in the not too distant to people who may be landlords I thought a heads up would be in order.
The new legislation, is entitled the Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. Basically it will require Landlords to supply and fit a smoke alarm on each storey of their properties. Landlords will also have to supply a carbon monoxide alarm in all rooms which contain a solid fuel burning combustion appliance. It is widely expected that the legislation will be amended before October to include gas appliances in the same bracket as solid fuel burning appliances.
For any of you that are suffering from insomnia the full kit available here.. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2015/9780111133439/pdfs/ukdsi_9780111133439_en.pdf
