RTA explains the new smoke alarm regulations

I have used the services of Coast Smoke Alarms (Formerly Sunstate Property Compliance) for over 10 years and have seen the business develop and change over this time with different business owners. Recent changes, under the current owners, Terry & Catherine have improved the experience, and their new client portal is an exciting new chapter that will further enhance their great service. Smoke Alarm compliance is a critical part of what we do as a property management business and the knowledge that their staff are well trained and trustworthy is essential. Their service is prompt, courteous and reliable and their staff are always friendly to deal with both face to face and over the phone. I highly recommend Coast Smoke Alarms to any agency looking to use a professional company to handle their compliance needs.

I have had the pleasure with working with Coast Smoke Alarms for many years and have found them to be extremely professional in everything they do. They are most helpful and have reliable staff members. It has been great to find a local company that provides a personalised, flexible and proactive service, nothing is ever an issue and they are always so polite and courteous to deal with.

I cannot recommend Coast Smoke Alarms enough to any property managers looking for a knowledgeable and caring team for their property compliance needs. Nothing is too much trouble for Terry, Catherine and the team and they are absolutely committed to ensuring our tenants and properties are kept safe.

We were worried that moving companies would be too time consuming and difficult but Coast Smoke Alarms made it so quick and easy. We are over the moon with the service we receive from them and Terry and Catherine are always on hand to answer any questions or deal with any problems. We are so glad we moved to a local business that really cares about their clients and would happily recommend them to any other property managers on the Sunshine Coast.

I wanted to let you know that the new Cavius wireless smoke detectors you recommended look great. The install was quick, clean and professional. Highly recommend these detectors and your company. 5 stars.
