    Anyone have any idea how much it might cost to remove an old gas fire (get it disconnected) dont want a fire would be happy just to have a box in the space and the gas closed off.
    I am guessing a gas fitter needed for this?
    Any recommendations in dublin much appreciated.

    Is there no isolation valve outside the fireplace ? (normally on one side of the chimney breast wall)

    Its not just a case of turning off a valve and disconnecting a pipe.
    It needs to be sealed and pressure tested to ensure there are no leaks and certified as safe.
    Strictly a job for RGI.

    Thanks for all the advice folks much appreciated.
    I have been on contact with one guy who is a RGI.
    He has quoted me 140 to remove two gas fires and cap them off.
    I am guessing I would need someone totally different to box them off (he seems to think there is an open fire behind them).
    Does anyone know who I would get to do this piece of work?
