removing a Gas fire and surround

I want to completely remove a gas fire from my lounge downstairs and cap the gas feed supplying it. it has a metal chimney tube through to the roof. its a 1960/70s house. has not been used for 7 years.

Whats involved in doing this to leave the house safe and damp free, with no signs of the fire left, and likely costs to consider.
