Out of interest

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........

[CivvyFSO]

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.

[Midland Retty]

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?
