What grade and category do I need for a 3-storey HMO with a shared kitchen?

For a 3-storey HMO with a shared kitchen, BS 5839-6:2019 recommends a Grade D1, Category LD2 system as minimum. LD2 covers escape routes plus rooms where fire is most likely to start — the shared kitchen is the key risk room here.

Does it need a heat detector or smoke in the kitchen?

Heat detector. BS 5839-6 clause 11.2 states kitchens should have heat detection to avoid false alarms from cooking. An A1R or A2S to BS EN 54-5 grade 1 is typically specified.
