About Oakfield Heating

We are a small, independent business, covering the area of Heathfield, East Sussex and the surrounding villages. We aim to provide swift, professional workmanship in the domestic plumbing and heating sector.

Our Story 

Oakfield Heating started as a family business – and that’s exactly how it’s stayed. When Daniel, who began as an apprentice, took over from Sebastian’s father in 2016, the name Oakfield was born – blending the local villages of Broad Oak and Heathfield, where they both lived at the time. A few years later, Kathryn joined the fold, and the company has grown steadily from there. 

We’re still small, still local, and still all about doing things properly. Whether we’re installing a heat pump or fixing a leaky boiler, we care about the job, and we care about the people behind the front door.

Our Experience 

Between us, we’ve racked up decades in the trade. From brand-new boiler installations to repairing ageing systems in character homes, we’ve seen it all – and sorted it. 

We’re accredited installers for Viessman and GrantUK products, trusted for our work with both oil and gas systems, and trained to handle the latest renewable tech like air source heat pumps and solar panels. 

Every job is backed by know-how, pride in our work, and a fair dose of East Sussex common sense.
