How can i turn the gas past its sell-by date to my fire and will it mingy that i will enjoy no hot river if i enjoy a hindmost boiler? i had an ofsted inspection for childminding and they have advise me...

i had an ofsted inspection for childminding and they have advise me to turn the gas off to the fire, the reason for this is so the children dont switch it on. i believe to do it i enjoy to turn a tap like toy with that sticks out of the wall by the side of the fire but its apinted over and i cant move it besides, we have a back boiler, so surely turning the gas past its sell-by date to it will knock the pilot light off and thus we will hold no hot water??
i dont want to use a fire guard if i can help it as i never enjoy the fire on and the guard takes up so much space and we only own a small living room.
the other suggestion they gave was to remove the knob so they couldnt turn it, but i cant attain it off. any advice near regards to turning off the gas would be useful
thanks in finance
How do i keep hold of the river...
Why dont you just get someone to engineer a screw on metal cover to cover the knob that way you can still use it if you need it after that.

The valve coming out of the wall may be used to turn off the fireplace but follow the piping from the spigot to the fireplace to see if it goes anywhere else, if it does then you should try to find a closer spigot. To take the handle rotten, usually use a screwdriver to remove screww and a pair of large pliers to grasp a jiggle handle while pulling. Make sure to smell for gas leaks after (rotten egg smell), if you do beckon gas company.

How can I know in that will be...
Get a corgi engineer to do it for you, it wont cost the floor, and will have it done by the time you have thought roughly speaking these answers.
How can I product sure my toilet flapper...
Probably a separate pilot on the boiler.
And probably a separate rotary multiple position gas valve under a cover on the side / backside of the fire.

Answers:    There is a 3 way tap lower than the fire, which can be turned so that the fire or the back boiler can be turned off or both. On oodles back-boilers, 1/4 turn with a spanner anti-clockwise isolates the fire. The best way to grasp the control knob off without breaking it is to lever it stale by useing 2 screwdrivers at opposite sides. The tap outside of the fire would indeed turn the boiler past its sell-by date as well as the fire, and if it is stuck, would be likely to overflow gas if you did manage to move it.
