Stripping paint with IR stripper, have this run up close to the gas pipe. I'm guessing not good to heat up the pipe and I should try and strip it some other way?

Why are you stripping it? The paint looks perfectly fine to sand and repaint.

You’d probably struggle to melt copper or solder with a heat gun but you’re right to be careful.

Solder melts at around 180C, which is probably a lot less than a heat gun can produce, so I'd be extra careful. Or just sand and repaint, as you say.
