Yes, it is held to the ceiling with a magnet, so thankfully I can take it down and put it somewhere more accessible: there's no power connection.

Do you live in a bank vault ?


How odd! Do you have to replace the whole unit ? I wonder if you can gain access to it through the back ?

Our smoke alarm keeps going off every 10 mins for no reason whatsoever. We can't even take the battery out.

Put the fire out and have a cup of tea.

My sister in law's smoke alarms are the same, those were fitted by the local fire brigade, her hall one beeps and I was suprised when I couldn't get in to change the battery, there must be a way in but its not obvious.

Ours are mains powered with a back up battery, the battery is accessable.

Ours are a legal requirement for rented accommodation: the letting agent fitted them, and he says the batteries last for several years at a time.

Are you sure it’s not a dual alarm and it’s not the carbon monoxide alarm going off?
