IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
A quick word of caution
You are advised not to instruct a contractor directly except in the event of a genuine emergency, as the landlord may not agree with other reasons for a call out and therefore the liability to pay the contractor may remain with you. For the avoidance of doubt we would define an emergency as serious maintenance matters that endanger health and safety.
Helpful Information
If you smell gas – immediately call the National Grid on 0800 111 999 before instructing a gas contractor.
In the event of a power cut call UK Power Networks 0800 31 63 105.
For concerns over a water leak on the mains water please contact Southern Water initially on 0330 303 0368.

Zoe Hodd
So far my experience with Oakfield has been nothing but successful. Great communication unlike some other letting agents, fair prices, and they work quick and professionally. Shout out to Zoe, what a great representative for the company, she adds to the ongoing great reputation!
Adam Sellers
Adam & the team have literally been cut above the rest. They did everything they said they would, and then some. I was dealt with by Adam mainly, but the service the others gave in the office was ALSO second-to-none. Truly appreciate the great work you guys did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anybody.
Hannah Namvar & Adam Sellers
Had a great experience with Oakfield. Me and my wife had been travelling for 6 month in Australia and New Zealand and had to move fast when we came back to England in regards to a flat. We were living with parents but managed to view a flat with Oakfield, put an application in on the same day and within 5 days we had the keys and began to move our stuff in. Both Hannah and Adam have been really helpful and kept in contact the whole way through and have put our minds at rest. We couldn't believe how easy the process was. We love our new flat and thanks to the Oakfield team in Hastings we have one less thing to worry about. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Charlotte has been prompt on her responses via email and providing me updates via text messages. She has even responded to me on her days off and make sure I have been contacted by other staff in her absence.
The overall professionalism and quality of work provided by Charlotte and the team is outstanding.
Highly recommend.
Phil Hall
Oakfield's team were fantastic. Everyone most helpful and good advice given. Property was priced sensibly and sold within a week. We weren't in Sussex at completion but all was handled well with no fuss. We cannot speak highly enough of this estate agency, and recommend them unreservedly.y
Rachel Harmer
I live in a large block of flats which has been managed by Oakfield since it was constructed 6 or 7 years ago. The relatively new block has had some extended snagging issues and some niggling day to day issues which have been remedied promptly and effectively. Their annual budget is prepared with care and delivers value for money. The dedicated contact Rachel cannot be faulted, all in all excellent service.
Richard Snatt
We are very pleased with Oakfield's management of our block of five flats. We deal with Richard mainly and find him to be responsive, prompt and efficient in all aspects as well as polite and respectful. Additionally there is very good liaison, on occasions we have made requests or suggestions, these are listened to, discussed fairly and applied. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
