Are smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors provided?

Yes — all Enclave apartments are fitted with smoke alarms, and in homes where there are gas appliances, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are also provided. These devices are essential for your safety and form part of the property’s compliance with UK regulations.

Smoke alarms

• Installed in key areas of your apartment, such as hallways and living spaces.

• Checked before your tenancy starts to ensure they are working.

• Some developments also include alarms linked to the building’s fire safety system.

Carbon monoxide detectors

• Fitted in apartments with gas appliances, such as boilers or hobs.

• Provide an early warning if CO levels become unsafe.

• Like smoke alarms, these are tested before you move in.

Your responsibilities

• Test alarms regularly using the button provided (usually once a month).

• Replace batteries if required (for battery-operated models).

• Report any faults to the on-site team immediately so replacements or repairs can be arranged.

Helpful tip

Never remove or disable your alarms, even temporarily. They’re vital for your safety and form part of your tenancy obligations.
