Secondly she is having a new cooker and hob, changing from gas to electric,
consequently I will need to cap the old gas feed as it's in the way.

I am a competent wet plumber but was wondering if there was any advice for a
job like this (i.e. don't do it). It seems straight forward, Turn off gas at
meter, cut pipe, make end good, then solder on new end cap, turn gas back
on, and check for leaks with gas aerosol stuff. ( what about any gas left in
the pipe when I'm soldering, will air have got into the system during the
process, etc)

Provided it's copper pipe it should not be a great problem as you seem
to know the pitfalls. one point however is "for the mother in law".

You are in contravention of the regulations in doing this bit for a
third party, particularly if she gives you anything for doing it.

Just a pointer!
