"You will require a Gas Safe registered person to ensure gas pipes in fire place is capped and tested,
Then a builder to brick up and plaster;

I can do all if required

"Hi Peter

This is probably a small job for builder or Bricklayer although if you have any gas pipes withinn the fire opening then you will also need to call on a Gas Safe Plumber to decommission this if it is still live.

After that and when bricked up it would need boarding and skimming.

The builder would do this also. And of course it would need decorating with possible skirting boards. Let me know if you need help but I am in the Wigan area with a 10 mile radius work zone.
All the best of luck with it.
Alan"
