I am not a gas-fitter or heating technician but the presence of soot shows the gas is not being burnt fully, so it is a symptom not a problem itself. Try these:

How do you clean wood charcoal stains off a porous concrete fireplace hearth?
We had carbon on the stone above our fireplace opening because a guest at our cabin started a fire without opening the damper. We used Sure Klean Fireplace Cleaner, following the instructions on the bottle. It's not easy to find, but it works as advertised. It removed all the carbon from the stone. The grout is 90% cleaner, but if you know to look, you can see that the grout is ever so slightly darker than the grout on the side of the fireplace, where there was no smoke damage. I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.
