2 moke alarms and a heat alarm £90.

battery powered, stick them to the wall/ceiling.

The Scottish Govt tried to "sell" me similar things for free, made by
Fire Angel (which get really bad reviews in Which for a large number
being faulty) but as I already have 5 smokes, 1 heat, 1 CO, all AICO,
all hardwired and interlinked with a locator switch, I declined.

Unless things have changed very recently due to Covid restrictions the
local fire brigade go around pensioners houses installing fire alarms
for free when they have nothing better to do.

It is much more cost effective than having to put out a domestic fire.

Typically (for historical reasons) one over the TV in the living room
and one on the on upstairs landing. TV's haven't really caught fire much
since the valve era (when it was all too common).
