Tolerable Standard Compliant
Scottish law since February 2022 requires all Cardrona properties — including resort apartments and holiday lets — to have interlinked smoke alarms, a kitchen heat alarm and CO detectors where required.
Short-Term Let Licence Ready
Scotland's short-term let licensing scheme requires alarm compliance certificates. We install and issue the documentation Cardrona holiday let owners need for their STL licence applications to Scottish Borders Council.
Fully Interlinked Systems
All alarms must sound simultaneously in Scottish law. For Cardrona's resort properties and apartments — where guests may be unfamiliar with the layout — full interlinking is essential for occupant safety.
Mains or Battery Options
We install both mains-wired and long-life battery alarm systems. For Cardrona apartment blocks where mains work requires building management approval, battery alarms provide immediate, certificate-ready compliance.
Same-Day Certificates
Alarm installation certificates issued on the day — essential for short-term let licence applications and council compliance checks for Cardrona properties.

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

Yes — all Scottish residential properties used for short-term letting must comply with the Tolerable Standard alarm requirements. Cardrona resort apartments and holiday lets need interlinked smoke alarms in living areas and hallways, a heat alarm in the kitchen, and CO detectors where required.

Scotland's short-term let licensing scheme requires evidence of Tolerable Standard compliance — including alarm installation certificates. We install compliant interlinked systems and issue the certificates required for your STL licence application to Scottish Borders Council.

Yes — 10-year sealed battery alarms are fully compliant and don't require any mains electrical work in communal areas or building management approval. They're the most practical solution for Cardrona apartments and meet all Scottish alarm requirements.

For a typical Cardrona apartment: one smoke alarm in the living area, one smoke alarm in the hallway, one heat alarm in the kitchen, and a CO detector in rooms with gas appliances. All devices must be interlinked. We assess each property individually and confirm the exact requirement.

A short-term let licence application can be refused or revoked if alarm compliance documentation is missing. Insurance may also be invalidated, and you could face personal liability in the event of a fire. Scottish Borders Council actively checks compliance documentation.

Yes — for multiple Cardrona units we can schedule a block visit to complete all properties efficiently. Portfolio pricing is available for owners with multiple short-term lets or holiday apartments in the resort.

We cover Cardrona and the EH45 area regularly. Most properties can be booked within a few days. For urgent STL licensing or pre-guest deadlines, contact us and we'll prioritise your booking.
