If money was no option and you'd just purchased yourself a nice semi detatched in suburbia what sort of fire safety would you install?
Lounge, 3 Bed, Kitchen, Dining room, bathroom, w/c and loft conversion.
What would you do?
Radio Linked? Watermist (kitchen), Smoke/heat/Carbon?
Indulge me

Piglet if money was no 'option' I would have a wooden spoon and a frying pan and use it as a manual alarm system. "If you hear a clang clang clang, get out there is a fire"
If money was no 'object' I wouldn't have bought a semi in the first place.
Is the attic room sleeping accomodation?
if not then just domestic off the shelf smoke detection.
PS if you give the fire service a call they will come and install some for you for free.

You're right if money was no object it would probably be round Colin Todd's neighbourhood too ;)
I was thinking about the ideal homeshow or some of these flat pack grand designs. What can fire safety offer houses these days?
I was thinking a nice mix of radio linked heat and smoke, some detectors with E/L in the landing. You can get s/d now that texts you when triggered I would also have a water mist in the kitchen
Maybe a velux roof window smoke extraction system

If it were my home I would just ensure I had a decent Grade D LD2 setup, look after my electrical and heating installations and spend the rest on a decent holiday.

A show home for fire safety, I see where you are coming from now. Full mist throughout plus the stuff you said above. The reason being electrical gadgets fill our houses and are in every room; often kids rooms with stuff thrown over transformers etc
Would you really buy a place in Mr Todds neighborhood if money was no object?

Why mist? Probably better to pick something that works when the window is open........
-
I would have a full engineered solution with sprinklers, control and a voice alarm.
Or wot Kurnal said.
-
I would give the fire bits a miss and go for a butler and cook, the latter
preferably must be Swedish, blond, ex Miss World finalist and 23 the former being blind and dumb.

I already have a butler and a cook, so with my cash I might upgrade the Bentley, have a third swimming pool built, or failing that I think I'd have a nice little LD3 system installed.

I don't sleep with my windows open, because my 'show' home has full air conditioning.

Thanks gang
It would be interesting (maybe just for me) to have a fire safety house at the ideal home exhibition.
All the latest innovations under one roof.

A blind butler ??? ???
That could be tricky ::)

Tolerable.

I would rather have a goblin teasmaid.
-
Or just marry the cook? ;)

Why marry her? If she is already a good cook there is no need.

I can read an awful lot into that statement.

If I did that there would be no money at all as the divorce lawyers would have taken it all................
Money no object? I've already got an L1 system, CO & natural gas alarms, E/L* and millions of extinguishers, so would probably shell out on an ARC link for property protection and possibly residential sprinklers just for the hell of it!
(I have a Pt 1 system instead of a Pt 6 as it was cheaper due to having the right trade contacts ;))
* E/L is quite handy as a bulb lowing always trips the fuse board & having the cupboard with the fuses beautifully lit by an 8W bulkhead is far less hassle than fiddling around with a torch which even if you never use it always seems to have nearly dead batteries when you really need it to work....
-
I wonder if you wear an anorak when you go out Anthony? ;)
-
Oh of course and with the requisite reflective banding to ensure I don't get run over at night...... ;D ;D ;D

Knew nobody else had the winning numbers cos I got the full jackpot.
Going to tell the boss on Monday to shove his job up his jacksey. Oops, just remembered - thats me.
How am I going to deal with the avalanche of begging letters you might ask!
Easy. I can now afford to employ a team to send them for me. :P
