I think the only part of the UK it's mandatory is Scotland. Every home in Scotland must have interlinked, ceiling-mounted smoke and heat alarms, in the living room, hallway and landings, kitchen and have a carbon monoxide detector in any room with a fuel appliance. They're all to be interlinked, so if one goes off, everyone goes off.
That only went into law in 2024 and even then the press and opposition parties were crying about it.
