This sample is for recording tests of smoke and heat alarms in a holiday let. It does not tell you which alarms to fit. That is for your fire risk assessment and the official guidance.

The Home Office guide for small paying-guest accommodation in England says domestic smoke and heat alarms should be tested monthly, and that in self-catering premises those tests should also be done at each changeover. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions as well. The guide applies to England, within its stated scope. Last checked: 11 November 2026, Europe/London.
