smoke alarm

[tom1]

been working at a house and they ask me if i could remove mains wired smoke, i said you might be pushed to get some one to remove a smoke alarm. been back again and they have asked me again, because they have a open fire place and it setts it off when the put it out. i said i would move it but they want it gone, they have brought i battery one to put up.

my take is they can do what they want if they do it them selves, what do you guys think?

Replace it with a heat detector .

Imagine how you would feel if there was a fire there after you had removed them, you are right to think twice. And they are stupid to ask you .

Maybe change it for an optical or heat is it the only one they have or is it interlinked?

Then you won't have one downstairs. Last time I looked, minimum requirement was one per floor.

Seems strange it was put there in first place and not one on landing.

Just remember that once you start interfering with it, you'll have to issue a smoke alarm cert. Once you do that, you'll have to make sure the design is correct.
