Hi guys and gals,
Long time no post. Hope we are all busy and doing well.
I have a question regarding the building regulations/part p, concerning mains powered smoke and heat detectors.
I have taken on a job that is in a nutshell to re-wire a new kitchen and conservatory and utility room.
The original kitchen has been extended and the conservatory is new.
I wanted to know if i need to offer mains voltage smoke/heat detectors in the new areas to pass the sign off process?
I didnt know where i stood with this?
I also dont plan to put in a new CSU, the one there is fine and was only installed in the last 6 months. So i will be adding to this new circuits in the above areas.
By adding to the original CSU, do i have to make sure the whole house is now covered with heat/smoke detectors?
If so, if i put in a small CSU just covering my new circuits plus detectors in the new areas mentioned above, can i just cert them and not wire in new ones around the house?
Im in the process of joining the NICEIC as a part p domestic, so was going to use this job as one of the assesments.
Cheers,
Lee.
