I agree with what everyone else has told you.
You've already proved yourself to be a good tenant so cut out the
agency. The landlord may also gets charged the same admin fee as well
- I do.
Talk to the landlord and explain that you think that you're being
taken for a ride.
ARLA, the industry body produces standard contracts -

out your existing one and use it again.
Agencies charge landlords 10-15% + VAT of each rent payment for full
management services, which it sounds like you are on, so you could
offer to split the difference with the landlord. The issue may be that
the landlord may not want you calling him up if something goes wrong,
so you may need to offer to do everything and deduct it from the rent.
