capping gas pipe in screed (hob supply)

[gambo]

Gas pipe (covered in some sort of yellow wrap) is supplying gas hob we are now removing and changing kitchen layout. The same pipe goes to fireplace. What are the options to safely cap it and put tiles on top of it. I would prefer to run a new pipe to the fireplace but I don't know yet if it's doable without spending too much. I will obviously use a gas engineer.

A gas certified installer - he will need to purge then will then cap as required.

How will he do it? I mean, how much does he have to dig out and how much screed will need to go on top?

Do you have a pic? Is the pipe in the screed? If so just needs access to put a cap on the end but hard to say without seeing what you have

My worry is how big the hole needs to be and how much screed will go over it

I would be taking a semi circle or horse shoe shape to where the screed is cut around the pipe. Then you need a bag of self levelling compound or sand and cement mix to refill.

But how to safely cap the pipe?
