Hi
 there a number of factors to be taken into consideration when installing gas fires the main factor is ventilation 
If your keen to help out the best thing to do is to call out a gas engineer to quote you on a supply and fit

Yes there are plenty of options available you'd just need to work out the amount of radiators in the property for a KW rating also find if the boiler is a system boiler or not I.e just for heating . As there are boilers that do both heating and hot water.

Don’t believe you will be able to replace one with back boiler.  So only leaves the other one. You would need to find out why both fires were condemned first.  Realistically you would need a gas engineer to come out and have a look as to what can be done. Personally I would go electric

The one with the back boiler - if it’s still operating the heating from the back boiler then there isn’t much can be done. The boiler can still be used until it’s all replaced. The other fire you need to work out the kw required to heat the room also the chimney dimensions must be known.

Consult a gas registered plumber. You can get one through Gas Safe. Kind regards Dave Lewis
