01
Planning automatic gates Greenford homes can grow around
Greenford combines established suburban housing with newer homes and modernised frontages. Across the residential neighbourhoods towards Perivale and Northolt, driveway depth, boundary position and parking arrangements vary. A gate that looks balanced beside a modern house still needs enough room to operate when the car is parked.
Before finalising paving or landscaping, consider the complete entrance: where vehicles wait, how pedestrians reach the front door and where the gate sits when open. Around busier approaches near Greenford Broadway and the A40, it is particularly worth thinking about arrival and departure rather than judging the design from a front elevation alone.
02
Match clean-lined frontage design with the right movement
For a short driveway or sloping entrance, made-to-measure sliding gates are worth considering because they move along the boundary rather than swinging across the drive. They still need space beside the opening; tracked and cantilever layouts are discussed at survey. Where there is adequate clearance, single or double swing gates offer an alternative, with opening direction chosen to suit the driveway.
Modern Gates makes steel and iron gates with powder-coated finishes, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Think about how the colour and material will sit alongside brickwork, render and the front door. If the available space turns a corner, turn and slide gates follow a turning track; the survey confirms the layout and space required.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Decide how the household and visitors will get in
Automatic gates in Greenford should suit more than the morning car journey. Consider who needs regular access, how visitors announce themselves and whether deliveries need a separate pedestrian route. Modern Gates offers automated gates with motors, intercoms and access control; an intercom is optional rather than a compulsory part of the installation.
Sliding gates can pair with remotes, app access and intercoms. For a separate route on foot, matching pedestrian gates can carry the same finish, colour and hardware as the driveway entrance, with keypad, code lock or smart lock options. On a new-build layout, considering these choices early helps you avoid treating pedestrian access as an afterthought.

From your building plans to an accurately measured opening
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure on site, make the gate to the opening and then fit it. If building work is still underway, explain which driveway levels, boundaries and entrance dimensions are final and which may change. Accurate on-site measurements matter even when drawings are available.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Website product calculators price gates using width × height × a square-metre rate, with Delivery only or Supply and fit available. You can choose manual or automated operation and an intercom or no intercom. For help planning the entrance around your building work, call Modern Gates on 020 3576 4733.
05
Keep future upkeep in the design brief
Even a newly fitted entrance needs care over time. Keep the gate’s travel area clear of stored items and planting, and seek advice if movement becomes uneven or the gate stops responding normally. Do not force a struggling gate or attempt adjustments to powered components yourself.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, so a problem with an existing entrance does not automatically mean starting again. If you have moved into a modern Greenford home with gates already installed, describe the symptoms when enquiring so the discussion can focus on the entrance you have.

Questions from Greenford homeowners
When should I plan automatic gates for a new-build home in Greenford?
Consider the gate layout before finalising driveway paving, boundaries and landscaping. The gate needs operating space as well as an opening wide enough for access. Tell Modern Gates about any unfinished work when requesting your survey; the gate is measured on site before being made.
Can automatic gates work on a short Greenford driveway?
A sliding gate may suit a short driveway because it moves along the boundary rather than swinging into the parking area. It needs sufficient space alongside the entrance. A turn and slide layout may be another option where the track can follow a corner, subject to the survey.

Modern Gates is based at 66 Delamere Road, Hayes, UB4 0NN, in West London. If you are looking for automatic gates near Greenford, request a site survey online or call 020 3576 4733 to discuss your entrance.
Do I have to include an intercom with electric gates?
No. Modern Gates offers automated gates with or without an intercom. Think about how household members and visitors will enter before choosing your access arrangements. Sliding gates can be paired with remotes, app access and intercoms.
How much will made-to-measure gates cost, and how long do they take?
