Aico Alarm Systems We Install
Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms provide early warning of fire and are typically installed in hallways, landings and circulation spaces.
Heat Alarms
Heat alarms are commonly installed in kitchens where smoke alarms may be prone to false activations.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Carbon monoxide alarms help protect occupants from dangerous carbon monoxide emissions from boilers, fires and fuel-burning appliances.
Multi-Sensor Alarms
Multi-sensor alarms combine multiple detection technologies to improve fire detection and reduce unwanted alarms.
Interlinked Alarm Systems
Modern alarm systems are commonly interconnected so that when one alarm activates, all alarms throughout the property sound simultaneously.
This provides earlier warning and improves safety for occupants, particularly in larger homes and rental properties.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Are you an Aico Approved Installer?
Yes. BuildSpark is an Aico Approved Installer and regularly installs Aico smoke alarms, heat alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and interlinked alarm systems throughout South London.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Carbon monoxide alarms are recommended wherever fuel-burning appliances are present and may be required under current regulations in certain circumstances.
How much does an Aico alarm installation cost?
The cost depends on the size of the property, the number of alarms required and whether wired or wireless interlinking is needed. We provide free quotations throughout South London.
Do you provide other electrical services besides alarm installations?
Yes. In addition to Aico alarm installations, BuildSpark provides a full range of Electrical Services including EICR inspections, fault finding, fuse board upgrades, rewiring, emergency repairs, EV charger installations, emergency lighting and landlord compliance services.
Do you install smoke alarms in Tooting?
Yes. We regularly install Aico smoke alarms, heat alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in Tooting for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and HMO properties.
Do interlinked smoke alarms need electrical testing?
Interlinked alarm systems should be tested regularly to ensure they operate correctly. During maintenance visits we can test alarms, inspect wiring and confirm that all detectors communicate correctly throughout the property.
Do landlords need smoke alarms?
Yes. Landlords are required to install smoke alarms on every storey used as living accommodation and ensure they are working at the start of a tenancy.
What is the benefit of interlinked alarms?
Interlinked alarms ensure that when one detector activates, all alarms throughout the property sound, providing earlier warning and improving occupant safety.
Can you replace old smoke alarms?
Yes. We regularly replace outdated or expired alarms and upgrade properties to modern Aico alarm systems.
Can Aico alarms help landlords pass compliance inspections?
Yes. Modern Aico alarm systems can help landlords meet fire safety requirements and are often installed alongside an EICR Certificate and other landlord compliance services.
Can Aico alarms help identify electrical safety issues?
Aico smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms improve fire safety, but they do not replace a professional electrical inspection. If you are concerned about the condition of your wiring or consumer unit, we recommend arranging an EICR inspection. If safety defects are identified, we can also carry out any Failed EICR remedial works required to restore compliance.
What should I do if my smoke alarm starts beeping unexpectedly?
A beeping alarm may indicate a fault, low backup battery, contamination or the need for replacement. If the alarm continues to activate unexpectedly or you suspect an electrical fault, contact our Emergency Electrician team for assistance.
Can you replace faulty smoke alarms the same day?
In many cases, yes. We carry replacement Aico alarms and can often provide same-day repairs or replacements throughout South West London, subject to availability.
Can an electrician test my existing smoke alarm system?
Yes. We can inspect existing alarm systems, test interlinking functions, verify detector locations and recommend upgrades where necessary to improve safety and compliance.
Can you install alarms during other electrical work?
Yes. Many customers choose to upgrade their alarm system while carrying out other electrical improvements such as rewiring, fuse board upgrades or landlord safety inspections. This can reduce disruption and improve overall electrical safety.
