Looking for a gas safe chimney sweep

Any one know of a chimney sweep who can remove a living flame gas fire and sweep a chimney. Local to Houghton, dont want the hassle of finding a gas safe man to disconnect fire , to come back again after been swept.
 
I’d think they’d be separate trades too. Chimney Sweep I use is Alex from Fire & Ash.
 
Why does the chimney need sweeping, it should have been done before the fire was fitted. Gas fires don’t soot chimneys up.
 
Aye think its a nest. Applied for the energy grant through Borthwick, had me old boiler serviced, a gas hob connected and the gas serviced back end of last year, we knew about the poor draw on the smoke test for gas fire flue, engineer left it as it was, don't use the fire anyway. Borthwick came out checked the fire and got it capped off. Any way , we got a new boiler fitted yesterday, 9 new TRV`S took out all old loft insulation, replaced with new , no idea why they took out old stuff, cavity walls, had all the old insulation removed and left to breath for a week before new insulation .The living flame fire is now disconnected, can get it swept. can get it connected at a later date.
If any SMB members have a boiler 15 years old are working , receiving universal credit, it pays to apply for the grant :) Got a brand new ideal logic 30 combi, yes could have got better, beggars cant be choosers, house never had a room thermostat or boiler controls , now we a have wireless one.
