So, what if you had a back boiler and matching gaping hole in the lounge
wall, but had the boiler removed and replaced by a standard gas fire,
the new boiler now having it's own ventilation in the kitchen? Can I
just half fill the hole as long as I carry out the smoke tests as
described in the fire's installation instructions? Or do I have to get
her to knit even more woollies?

Stuff up the hole with woolies? :-)

Should be OK if that's definitely what the hole it was for and the fire has
the manufacturer's specified ventilation (probably nothing for yer average
gas fire) and it draws all right with no spillage when tested with doors &
windows closed and any fans in the room running.

If the boiler's been replaced hopefully the replacement is room-sealed and
doesn't require ventilation from the room.
