Apologies to you Simon.
It's not unknown for people to suggest/ ask for advice over something that

No problems - now what about that electric heater in the shower cubicle ;-)

I guess if the pipe (now called a conduit) is covered with
mortar/stones/bricks then this would be OK.

Thanks, just didn't want to do it and find a gooey mess of cables after we'd
used the gas fire. Noticed the hearth is hollow underneath, I presume I
could lay cables under there as per a suggestion in your earlier post?
