Hi,
Wanting to get rid of gas fire place, cap off and cover the hole. Any ideas on rough cost for this? Also how big would be actual hole be that’s left behind? Cheers

How longs a piece of string!

Depends on what's behind it, how you want it blocking off and whereabouts in the country.

Best bet is get a gas safe engineer out to have a good look and give you an estimate.

what are your plans after removing the fire because this may determine what happens to the gas pipe .
