thanks for clearing that up, my thoughts exactly.
next question, i'm rewiring a new extension and kitchen is being modified (has been knocked through into old diner) do i need to install A)a smoke detector in the extension, and B) a heat detector in the kitchen, C) both on a dedicated circuit and interlinked?
As Murdoch says, check the drawings/BC.thanks for clearing that up, my thoughts exactly.

Interlinking is simply so that all occupants are alerted, irrespective of where the fire/smoke/heat/CO is first detected. The AICO range has an add on that can tell you which device triggered the alert (in similar way to zoning on a panel does).will check with BC in the morning. the builder has showm me some plans, it says smoke alarms must be fitted in accordance with regulation x or words to that effect but theres nothing on the drawings showing what they want.
also why does it say they have to be on their own circuit?? i was always taught to put on the lighting circuit so the tennants couldn't switch them off! makes sense to have them on the lighting circuit if you ask me, then if they are off you know they are off cos it's dark...
infact can someone explain why mains interlinked smoke alarms are better than battery smoke alarms?
