What does the law require in WA?
WA sets smoke alarm requirements for sale, lease and new building work, and they are updated from time to time. We work to the current standard and confirm what applies to your property.

- Photoelectric
- Correct placement
The detail of WA smoke alarm legislation, including the timing for sales and rentals, is set by the state and can change. We do not quote a clause that may have moved; we confirm the current position with you.
What does not change is the principle: working, well-placed, interconnected alarms give the earliest warning.
Landlord or owner, who is responsible?
For owners it is straightforward maintenance. For rentals the obligation usually sits with the owner, and we install and document the work so you have a record.
We install compliant alarms and leave you with a clear record of what was fitted and when, which matters for rentals and for peace of mind.
Exact landlord and tenant duties are set by WA tenancy and building rules, so we point you to the current requirement rather than guess.
