Smoke Alarms

From 1 January 2022
Requirements as for existing dwellings.
Existing landlord’s and tenant’s obligations regarding the installation and testing of smoke alarms continue.
Property sellers must continue to lodge a Form 24 with the Queensland Land Registry Office stating the requirements of the smoke alarm legislation have been met.

Smoke alarms in the dwelling must:
i) be photoelectric (AS 3786-2014); and
ii) not also contain an ionisation sensor; and
iii) be less than 10 years old; and
iv) operate when tested; and
v) be interconnected with every other smoke alarm in the dwelling so all activate together.

Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey:
i) in each bedroom; and
ii) in hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling; or
iii) if there is no hallway, between the bedrooms and other parts of the storey; and
iv) if there are no bedrooms on a storey at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.

Smoke alarms must be hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery, or a combination of both may be allowed.

Gavin and Helen from PBRS set the standard very high for building and pest inspections. I have had a few B&Ps in the past which do not even come close to the calibre, comprehensiveness and thoroughness delivered by PBRS. Gavin and Helen are two very personable people too and deliver an excellent line of communication. PBRS executes with precision and I will definitely be reaching out in future when needed. Thank you! Lee

Gavin and Helen were very friendly and very helpful. Our building and pest inspection was done very professionally and promptly, and very competitively priced compared to others. On the day of the inspection, Gavin gave very real and informative advice and opinions which we found very reassuring. The actual report was thorough and proffesional as you would expect, but we really appreciated the face to face conversation on the day. Thank you both. We will definitely recommend you to others. Pete and Bek

Gavin and Helen were able to fit us in quickly for a B&P inspection, he did an excellent job finding stuff that was missed on the pre-sale inspection and we can now go into home ownership more confidently knowing what to watch and fix. He sent the report the day of and was extremely thorough in his report, he also made sure we were able to attend which was very helpful. Gavin’s eye for detail is worth every dollar, definitely recommend them! And yes real estate agents are not a fan 😂 Thank you so much

Gavin did a wonderful job doing our building and pest inspections on the properties we were wanting to buy, first one was a lemon and the agent didn't like him at all! We are so grateful for your services and will recommend you to anyone buying property. He was early to both inspections, polite and professional and he and his wife were a pleasure to deal with
