How hot would it get behind the gas fire if I say drilled a hole in
both sides of the chimney a laid a piece of plastic waste pipe in
there to push cables through. Or would I be better putting the cable
run under floorboards?

I don't know what regulations are, but under my gas fire it's perfectly
cool, and I can and do run cables under there.

Safety, physical protection etc may be another matter, IMO it's ok as if I
remove the fascia they're on view.
