Retrieving toys from behind gas fireplace

[SeanG]

My genius of a son has been having fun posting toys into the back of our gas fireplace, it's a Flavel Windsor. We inherited it on moving in, so have no idea how it works.

Will I need to get a gas engineer in to remove it and retrieve the toys from behind it?

You could buy a cheap endescope that sends pictures to a phone. Then buy a long "pearl grabber" tool.

Possibly agree with tigercubrider, but if they’re not coming out, then yes if they’re in the catchment space, will need a gas safe registered engineer to remove the fire. Those inset fires can be awkward to remove, especially if fitted with a cable fixing kit.
