Should Scottish Government delay new smoke detector law

[littlespark]

You would think Aico would have known this was coming in Scotland and upped their manufacturing in time....

Oh wait... They did!

That’s weird. This is what I see. Maybe it’s different depending on your location.

My local store also have 24 in stock, but I’m in the south east of England

Edit: just realised you’re after the battery 603’s. None showing for delivery and only 4 in stock at local branch here.

That’s the mains smoke detector. What they’re short of is the battery heat…. Ei603rf.


Oh that’s sad. I’m quoting part numbers now without looking them up

Update.

City electrical are now showing stock on ei603rf and ei650rf heat and smoke detectors being available from 22nd february... It was 12th Feb.
Everyone else is in the same boat regarding stock levels.
Even seen stupid prices on ebay for them... £140 for one!!!, and no guarantee of full 10 years date on them.

Update

Important FYI!!

In at CEF the other day and they said they were not sure of the 22nd feb delivery date for the Ei603rf heat detectors… could be 26th now… so I’ve got a van full of battery smokes, but no heats. No point doing half a job and go back just for the heats…

This morning, I was in at Screwfix.. asked the manager there if the “24-48 hour” delivery was right on the EI603rf…. Yes, he said. Should come tomorrow, maybe Sunday. Def Monday.

Ok… best price? Considering they sell them at £84.99…. He knocked enough off each one to a quid less than what city charged me. !

So I got 10 coming for next week.



I’ll wait until I’ve got the 10 and will keep the ones from CEF when I eventually get them.


So, if you’re still waiting for stock, try your local Screwfix, and plead, beg and grovel to get the price.

I know they have a trade counter for electricians and pumbers but we never bothered with applying, presumably you have that hence the better deal? Might actually be worth it for some cases!
