... In the East Grinstead area please. Current price from a shop is ludicrous.

No idea for your location but if the price includes the flue lining of the chimney, which will be needed, then it costs a fortune whoever you go to. The flexible lining itself is very very expensive and then they have to feed it down from the chimney and fill the surrounding gap with absorbing pellets to reduce moisture build up.
Some don't bother with the flue liner but the stoves burn in a way that greatly concentrates the flue gases and temperature as oxygen to the stove is restricted. Open fires have massive dilution of the fire/gases/heat up the chimney and their chimneys were designed accordingly.
Probably lookibg at circa £1k plus for the flue and stove installation and approaching £1k for a decent stove I would have thought. What have you been quoted?

Not in Surrey
Be interested to hear the quote you received. We have recently been quoted £1900 for installation and chimney lining, included was a standard 5kw burner.
The chap who quoted is Brighton based, I have not got number to hand but Google 'Hannover builders' or 'Hannover wood burning stoves'.

We've just bought a house that has a wood burner in the sitting room. We got a chimney sweep out to clean the chimney ahead of the Winter. He confirmed that the chimney has not been lined and we should get it done, mentioning that the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases significantly without the special lining and some sort of plate at the bottom.

Register plate at the bottom should be done, with regards to the lining while most companies say it has to be done it is not necessary under building regulations if the porosity of your chimney has been checked. This involves blocking the chimney up top and bottom and pressurising it. Some sweeps do this (not yours I'm guessing) and stove installers should suck their teeth but agree. Obviously if your chimney fails you still need it lined so can be a waste of money, probably worth a punt if your chimney looks in good nick.
