Gas fire removal is actually a fairly common project, with more and more people facing rising fuel prices and looking for cost-effective ways to heat their homes. 

Installing log burning stoves in the place of old gas fires is a very popular home improvement, as is upgrading inefficient or faulty gas fires in favour of something more suited to modern expectations and those incorporating innovations in technology.
