Stratford combines residential flats with a major commercial centre — retail around Westfield, leisure venues, and offices — so fire detection here ranges from domestic alarms to full commercial systems. GFL Electrical install and upgrade fire and smoke alarms across E15 and E20.
The rules, briefly
- A smoke alarm on every storey of a home; CO alarms where there’s a fixed combustion appliance.
- New installs/rewires should be interlinked, mains-powered (BS 5839-6 for dwellings).
- Commercial premises fall under BS 5839-1 fire-alarm system design.
See our smoke alarm regulations guide.

My East Village flat — are alarms my responsibility? Alarms inside your flat usually are; communal detection is the building’s — we’ll clarify and fit what’s yours.
