Does anyone have an idea of any solutions to this issue?
We have a gas fire, in the lounge, and SWMBO would like to keep it. I contacted the fire supplier to see if I could switch the fire to LPG, but they stopped doing that in the last couple of years and couldn’t recommend a solution.
The room has UF heating so a fire is quite handy. I would like to get rid of our gas supply but this is the only issue stopping me and SWMBO is digging her heels in

You need to consult the manufacturers installation instructions, only if they specifically state and supply the conversion kit can you do it. If it is an ILFE or a DFE model be careful as the ventilation requirements may be different for LPG.
