we are fitting a wood burning stove into a modern fireplace that had a gas fire. A gas engineer called today and said it would be fine to solder the end of the pipe, bury it in the screed we will need to level the back of the hearth and then put our 50mm slate on top. Is this a safe way of doing it? There will still be gas in the pipe but it will be a dead end.

Robert is spot on
Copper and concrete do not mix it may get pinholes its better to cap it somewhere accessible to be on the safe side.
I would feel better about finding where the pipe is connected and capping it there. It sounds like a copper pipe if you are soldering it and when copper is in contact with cement it corrodes and may eventually leak. So do yourself a favor and trace it back to a point where it can be capped in open space and not buried.
