No more than £35 per point assuming that the wiring is correctly done. The operation involves replacing the old smoke detector's base with a new one and wire the new smoke detector.

Not really. Presuming that the original smokes are mains operated, then it should only be a case of replacing each unit. Half a day max.

Hi , as the lads have said below isn't a bad gauge on price and as the first response I only ever fit aico alarms simply because it's less hassle to all involved as they are the most reliable alarm on the market , there are many different alarms to choose from , ionisation for bedrooms , optical for hallways and lounge and heat alarms for kitchens , I would also recommend paying the extra and installing the ei16 range which has the rechargeable lithium battery rather than the 9v battery which you would need to change every 6 month at £4 a battery Hope this helps Dillon

For direct replacement including labour and materials you're looking in the region of £260 plus VAT for a reputable electrical company. Hope this helps

Hi Smoke alarms vary in price and quality like everything else. I wouldn't recommend cheap anything (especially when safety is concerned) as its false economy. you mite be looking at 20-30 quid per alarm to buy and then fitting on top. Changing them should be straight forward as long as they are wired up correctly. Have a look here as these are good quality reliable alarms aico.co.uk
