Can a chimney be cleaned from the top only?

My fireplace has an insert in it that fills the entire fireplace with heavy plate steel. No way to get at the flue. Can this chimney be cleaned without removing the insert?

Yes, clean it from the top.

What are you going to do with the crap that falls? If you have a bottom cleanout, yes, it can be cleaned from the top.
