My Smoke Alarms go off 
and I haven't a clue why but I had to basically punch the thing to turn it of odd 
if there had been a fire i'd of run out ages ago before those went of

Seriousley though there such a nuisance and even worse thing is there living of my
electricity so i cannot de-activate them at all 
Rant over

Cut the power from mains + pull out the emergency battery, but it should then beep every few mins. I guess a hammer would be a simpler solution. |

Ours are a pain in the arse, even if you unplug the power it charges a battery so it won't go off.
Check around, they are smoke alarms not fire alarms. Check around near your boiler etc check all pipework

LOL you should tell Steve jobs he might come up with a new idea and call it I ALARM but the downside of that would be you could never change the batteries:)

Most council ones are hard wired into the buildings main supply and where they're fitted by the council and run on batteries. The occupier and the council have a responsibility to maintain them. The council should come out every so often to test all installed alarms and replace if needed. The tennent is responsible for reporting defects, and also checking and replacing the battery if not a mains powered alarm.
