Sweep refused to clean my stovex as "unsafe"

It's was here when we moved in 3 yrs ago. Use it a fair bit but its probably past it. And the unsafe thing is a bit of a worry with the kids being little and all!
So need a replacement.
Looking at the clearview Pioneer. Which is apparently "great but expensive" at ?1100 without installation.
Advice needed on other options.
Cheers
