Welcome to Gillingham! There are 2 drs in the town - Peacemarsh Surgery and the Barn. Dentists - Winning Smiles (very good, next to Peacemarsh drs), and ADT at the other end of town which takes NHS patients. Vets - Shreen vets really good. Also Southill vets at the other end of the town by Orchard Park Garden Centre. Carpenters - Ian Wright (on FB). Builders - Camelot, Shean and Hare (shaftesbury), Burfitt and Garrett (Shaftesbury), Andrew Smith (Gillingham). Hope that helps a bit!

Welcome to Gillingham. For any issues, questions or guidance on anything from rubbish collection to Schools, from road repairs to licences just ask the amazing team at Gillingham Direct in the Town Hall. They know nearly everything and if they don't know they will find out for you. They are one of the jewels in Gillingham's crown!
Kirsty W. replied:
We use Shreen Vets and can highly recommend.
Sophy S. replied:
Parking at the Barn surgery is hideous, so Peacemarsh is better choice. As above Camelot builders

Hi Samara, welcome to Gillingham! Blackmore Vale Vets in Sturminster Newton are very good. I can put you in touch with people re: Gundog training, and also local shoots. I am also part of North Doset Ringcraft if you were interested, though it's just training for the show ring. Quite a few of our members also work their dogs, so would be a good way to get to meet local doggie people! We train at Cucklington Village Hall every Thursday from 7pm, and are a friendly bunch! And just incase you need a hairdresser, I own Utopia Hairdressing in Broad Robin, Gillingham!!

Is there an emergency dentist near gillingham that can do a root canal? Been to dentist this morning and they told me they can't do it today and go to A & E.
Anne K. replied:
You could try Winning Smiles, I dont think they go until mid afternoon on a Saturday but they would certainly have an emergency info recorded if they arent there. Number is 01747 826222
Jackie C. replied:
I haven't tried Winning Smiles as their website says they are not taking on new people and it £300+ for a root canal. I am waiting for NHS direct to get back to me at the moment. Thank you any way.
Any recommendations for a family friendly dentist who can cope with phobic patients and has nhs space please

I can highly recommend Winning Smiles in Gillingham. It's only NHS for children as it's a private Dentist. My 11 yr old Daughter is extremely phobic & they have been great with her. She had 2 teeth extracted there a couple of weeks ago ready for Braces & they were so patient & took there time. Hope that helps
Mandy A. replied:
I'd recommend My Dentist in Gillingham. Both myself and my 3 year old go there and they have always been really good and very nice.
Tracy S. replied:
Agree Dr Florin Cret is my Dentist he's amazing makes you feel so at Ease I've also experienced problems with another Dentist in the past and put the wind up me when we had to change dentists but I can honestly say Dr Cret is wonderful very very gently.
Pip S. replied:
Dr Florin Cret at My Dentist in Gillingham is incredible, I used to sit there terrified shaking with tears rolling down my face but not anymore! He's very gentle, explains everything and will stop the second you raise yr hand. Highly recommend him for anxious patients.
