If it's a mains-operated type with battery back-up, after you've replaced the battery you will need to press the `test` button - this not only tests the unit but also resets it. After you've done that, the unit will be quiet for around ten minutes then `bleep` to let you know it's back online.
Do you have a make?

Houses built prior to this can have ordinary battery operated types installed unless that house is to be let out as a HMO.
