smokes

[eganelectrical]

Just rewiring a house which has been gutted and had a new extension on back and side. Smokes are wired in hall down, hall up, attic top floor and a heat in kitchen all interlinked. The building inspector just came and said we need a smoke in every room in the house apart from bathrooms and en suits or other option is to get fire doors!! Is this right??

only if the house is HMO, IMO. otherwise he's talking out of his arse.

Yes very common, their idea does make sense to prevent the spread of smoke/fire within a property.
This comes under Building regs
