Driveway Gates Fulham — Designed to Belong
Driveway gates Fulham homeowners choose for a period property should feel like part of the frontage, rather than an addition that competes with it. Across the Victorian and Edwardian streets around Parsons Green and towards Sands End, boundary walls, railings and modest front gardens help shape the streetscape. Modern Gates makes steel and iron gates to measure, allowing the design and opening layout to respond to both the house and its available driveway space.

Driveway Gates Fulham: Read the Frontage First
Before choosing a design, look at the entrance from the opposite side of the road. The height of neighbouring walls, the rhythm of existing railings and the amount of brickwork on view can all help you judge what will sit comfortably. Where a Fulham home has off-street parking, a large vehicle opening can already interrupt a compact frontage; the gate need not make that interruption more prominent.
Conservation-sensitive streets call for an early check of any restrictions affecting the property. Do not assume that replacing a gate, changing its height or altering its posts is automatically permitted. Check the requirements with the local planning authority before committing to changes, particularly if the property is listed or within a conservation area.
02
Traditional Materials, with a Layout That Fits
Powder-coated steel and iron provide a choice of finishes for a period entrance, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Consider colour and proportions alongside the house’s existing metalwork rather than choosing the gate in isolation. Our made-to-measure swing driveway gates offer single or double-leaf layouts, including the familiar paired entrance that meets in the middle.
A traditional appearance does not mean swinging leaves will suit every driveway. On a shallow forecourt, check where the car will stand while the gate opens. Sliding driveway gates move along the boundary instead, which can suit short or sloping entrances where there is sufficient space alongside the opening. A turn-and-slide layout is another option to discuss where a turning track could work; its space requirements are confirmed at survey.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Modern Access Without Overlooking the Details
Your gate can be manual or automated with motors, and an intercom is optional. On a frontage close to the pavement, think about where visitors will stand to call and how you will let them in. Decide these practical details alongside the design, so access controls are considered from the outset rather than added as an afterthought.
Sliding gates can be paired with remotes, app access and intercoms. If the property has a separate side passage or garden entrance, matching pedestrian gates can carry through the driveway gate’s finish, colour and hardware. Keypad, code lock or smart lock options allow pedestrian access without opening the vehicle entrance.

From Fulham Survey to Made-to-Measure Installation
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates is based in Hayes, West London; we measure your opening on site, make the gate to measure and then fit it. As driveway gate installers serving Fulham, we use the survey to establish the space available and discuss the layout, finish, manual or motorised operation, and whether you want an intercom.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Pricing is calculated as width × height × a square-metre rate, using the product calculators on our website. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit when reviewing your options, and discuss the installation schedule before arranging any related work to the entrance.
05
An Existing Gate May Deserve Attention, Not Replacement
If your current gate already suits the house, a new design need not be the first step. A leaf that drags, a latch that no longer lines up or unreliable automated operation is a reason to ask about gate repairs and maintenance. Describe what has changed and whether the problem is constant or intermittent when you get in touch.
For an older frontage, retaining a suitable gate may also avoid unnecessary visual change. Modern Gates offers repairs and maintenance as well as new made-to-measure driveway gates in Fulham. Call 020 3576 4733 to discuss an existing entrance or request a survey online if you are planning a replacement.

Questions from Fulham homeowners
Do I need permission to replace driveway gates in a Fulham conservation area?
That depends on the property and the proposed changes. Check with the local planning authority before ordering, particularly if you plan to change the height, posts or boundary arrangement. Listed properties may have additional requirements; do not assume a replacement is automatically exempt.
Can I have a gate if my Fulham driveway is very short?
Potentially. A sliding gate avoids the inward sweep of swing leaves, but needs room to travel along the boundary. A turn-and-slide gate needs a suitable turning track layout. The site survey establishes which options can work with your opening and parking space.
Can a period-style gate be automated and have an intercom?
Manual or automated operation and an optional intercom are available. Discuss these choices at survey alongside the gate design and opening layout, so the entrance is planned for both its appearance and everyday use.
How do I get a price for driveway gates near Fulham?
Use the website’s product calculators, which calculate prices from width × height × a square-metre rate. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit. You can then request a site survey online so Modern Gates can measure the opening.
How long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates’ supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. The process is an online survey request, on-site measurement, made-to-measure manufacture and fitting. Discuss the schedule for your order before coordinating other driveway or boundary work.
