Why records matter
GOV.UK guidance for England says relevant landlords must equip smoke alarms and check prescribed alarms on the first day of a new tenancy. A clear record helps show what was checked, when access was provided and what remedial action was recommended.
Smoke alarm rules and practical evidence
For rented homes in England, official guidance explains that landlords must ensure at least one smoke alarm is equipped on each storey where there is a room used as living accommodation. It also says prescribed alarms must be checked and in proper working order on the day a new tenancy begins.
This service is designed to help landlords, agents and property owners organise a practical check and record. If your agent, insurer, buyer or local authority has asked for a specific wording, send it before booking so we can confirm whether it can be supported.

Smoke alarm certificate FAQs
Do I legally need a smoke alarm certificate?

We can check the visible alarm locations, test operation where access allows, record the property details, note missing or faulty alarms and advise whether replacement or installation is needed.
