Fire and Smoke Alarms

Fire and Smoke Alarms

Protect your home, business, or project site with reliable Fire and Smoke Alarms from Simply Extinguishers. Each device supports your property against the threat of fire by sounding a warning alarm. This alert encourages a fast evacuation to reduce the risk of burn injuries or smoke inhalation.

For domestic homes, UK guidelines strongly recommend installing a smoke alarm on every floor. In Scotland, it’s the law—every home must have interlinked smoke alarms for full coverage. Landlords across the UK must also provide long-life alarms with sealed batteries to meet legal standards.

Made to save lives, our range of devices offers quick fire detection and improved home safety. Prioritising home fire safety keeps you and your family safe from potential fire dangers. 

Are Fire Alarms and Smoke Alarms the Same?

Both types of devices effectively protect against fire risks, but perform differently. In relation to smoke alarms, they detect smoke levels caused by common fire hazards within homes. Recommended for every level of your property, these devices detect the early warning signs of fire. They effectively prevent deadly smoke inhalation by warning occupants to swiftly seek safety.

Fire alarms, on the other hand, offer protection on project sites and commercial buildings. Accessible through Call Points or manual activation, fire alarms interconnect with alarm systems to alert everyone on site. Typically found in schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, and more, these devices encourage timely evacuations.

How Do I Choose the Right Fire or Smoke Alarm?

We offer a wide selection of alarms to suit your needs, whether for smoke, fire, heat, or even CO leaks. When you select the correct device, you guarantee complete protection and compliance with safety standards.

Optical Smoke Alarms are best for bedrooms, lounges, hallways, and landings. They respond to smouldering fires and won’t trigger from steam. Our range of optical smoke alarms features long-life batteries and hush features for enhanced performance.

Suited for residential and commercial buildings, our Battery Smoke Alarms act independently from fixed alarm systems. If you choose to move homes, you can easily detach and transport them, too.

For kitchens and cooking environments, your best choice is a Heat Alarm. These unique devices detect high temperatures, not smoke, reducing the likelihood of false alarms. They're also suitable for garages or rooms equipped with fireplaces.

Carbon monoxide alarms (also known as CO) are vital in any room with fuel-burning appliances. This includes rooms equipped with boilers or log burners. In England and Wales, landlords must install CO alarms in every room with a carbon-fuelled appliance. In Scotland, CO alarms with sealed lithium batteries are mandatory in every relevant room, including those with flues.

You might find that your next B&B stay won't have a carbon monoxide detector equipped, leaving you at risk of inhalation. However, with the Portable Carbon Monoxide Alarm, you'll stay safe for every visit away from home.

Remember, CO has no smell, taste, or colour, making it undetectable when present. If your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, this is your cue to escape the property and contact emergency services (999). Have your devices checked by safety professionals before re-entering your property to ensure you're safe.
