Heating Engineers in Hempstead
Hempstead is a residential area on the southern edge of Gillingham, nestled in a valley with Capstone Country Park to the west, Wigmore and the A278 Hoath Way to the east, and the M2 motorway and the village of Bredhurst to the south. The settlement dates back to at least the mid-1600s, and a Grade II listed farmhouse from the sixteenth century still stands in the area, but the majority of Hempstead’s housing was built during the post-war expansion of Medway.

Local Knowledge: Heating in Hempstead
Hempstead straddles the boundary between the ME7 and ME8 postcodes, sitting at the southern extent of Gillingham’s residential footprint. The valley geography, with Hempstead Valley Drive running along its length, gives the area a distinctive sheltered character quite different from the more exposed hilltop suburbs of Walderslade and Lordswood nearby.
Most of Hempstead’s housing is semi-detached, reflecting the suburban building patterns of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Three-bedroom family homes are the predominant property type, and a significant number still have heating systems that date from the original construction or from early upgrades in the 1990s. These ageing installations are increasingly expensive to run and prone to breakdowns.
The Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre, one of the first out-of-town shopping centres in Kent, is a key local landmark and sits at the eastern edge of the neighbourhood. All Saints Church, built in 1911 as a mission chapel, serves as part of the Parish of South Gillingham. Hempstead Infant and Junior Schools provide education for younger residents, reinforcing the area’s strong family character.
The proximity of Capstone Farm Country Park, with its 114 hectares of green space, fishing lake and children’s playground, adds to Hempstead’s appeal as a residential area.
