When he returns, insist that he shows you which MCB in the consumer unit they are connected to.

SO that if this becomes a recurring problem, they can at least be silenced by removing the mains & the batteries.

You would need to remove the mains first before messing with anything mains powered.

If thats then case then they were battery powered ones, he would be for it if he left exposed connections from the mains.
Ring Fire Brigade they will install long life ones for free, in the correct place and will wait whilst you test them.

Not being disrespectful to flashy but how would she know she had removed the power?

She did the right thing and phoned Twin Valley, it must have been the right thing to do because it was my idea

I have seen them before where you can remove them by removing a screw and rotating them. They have touch proof connectors on them leaving them safe when removed.

Most Housing Association install mains powered ones so they don't have to rely on the tenants changing batteries. Some of them are linked together so when one goes off they all do. Good in a fire but a pain in the bum when you get false alarms.

You are a pain in the bum but I don't want you dead
