You should already know what to do next as I presume you are gas safe registered as you have already started the job

you presume wrong...i had wondered if i would get this kind of answer
but you are right

That's the only answer you'll get on here I'm afraid. As an rgi I have spent a lot of time and money on training, assesment and having the correct testing equipment to work on gas. Giving diy gas advice would be like biting the hand that feeds me. See the diy gas thread at the top of the forum for more info

Hope he doesnt serve you with a RIDDOR for leaving an open ended gas supply. It needs to be plugged / capped and tightness tested. A closed control valve is classed as an open end.

As above, in the condition you've left it you could be reported to the HSE for leaving your gas supply in a dangerous condition. Get an RGI out to sort it ASAP and definitely before you use the electric fire. You don't know that there isn't a small amount of gas leaking into the new fire, which could explode next time you turn the fire on
