Driveway Gates Hammersmith: Reassurance at the Front of Your Home
Hammersmith combines busy routes around King Street with quieter residential pockets towards Ravenscourt Park and Brackenbury Village. Many terraced homes have modest frontages rather than driveways; where off-street parking exists, the distance between the pavement, parked car and front door can be limited. A gate should help manage that entrance without making it awkward to use.
Think through an ordinary evening arrival: where will the car wait while the gate opens, can someone reach the front door on foot, and how will an unexpected caller announce themselves? These details matter as much as the appearance of the closed gate. A physical boundary can support peace of mind, but no gate should be treated as a guarantee against intrusion.
02
Let the Available Space Decide How the Gate Opens
A short driveway needs careful planning so that opening the gate does not compete with parking. Our made-to-measure sliding driveway gates travel along the boundary rather than swinging across the drive; they can suit short or sloping entrances where there is sufficient space for sideways travel. Tracked and cantilever layouts are discussed at survey. A turn and slide gate follows a turning track around a corner, with its layout and space requirements checked on site.
Where there is suitable opening clearance, single and double swing gates offer another approach. Powder-coated steel and iron are available, with cedar timber as an optional finish. Along Hammersmith’s period terraces and mixed residential streets, consider the gate’s proportions beside existing brickwork and railings rather than choosing its appearance in isolation.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Choose How You Will Answer the Gate
Automation and visitor communication solve different problems. Motors operate the gate; an intercom gives callers a way to announce themselves before you grant access. Modern Gates offers manual or automated gates, with or without an intercom, so you can choose the combination that suits your household rather than adding features you will not use.
For a sliding gate, options include remotes, app access and intercoms. If the property has a separate side passage, matching pedestrian gates can provide a distinct route for people on foot, with keypad, code lock or smart lock options. Consider family members returning at different times and how you want to handle deliveries when discussing access controls.

From a Hammersmith Site Survey to Installation
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure on site, make the gate to your opening and then fit it when you choose Supply and fit. The survey is the opportunity to discuss movement, parking clearance, materials, automation and whether an intercom belongs in the specification.

Security Also Depends on Looking After the Gate
An existing gate deserves attention if it starts catching, moving unevenly or failing to close as expected. Do not assume that adding automation will resolve a mechanical problem. Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, so replacement is not the only service to enquire about.
When contacting us, describe what has changed, whether the gate is manual or motorised, and whether the problem affects the movement, closing or access controls. These observations provide a useful starting point for discussing the work needed. Avoid forcing a gate that is sticking or behaving unpredictably.

Questions from Hammersmith homeowners
Can you fit gates to a short Hammersmith driveway?
A short driveway may suit a sliding layout because it does not need a swing arc across the parking area. It still needs room along the boundary for the gate to travel. We measure on site to establish which layout works with your opening and available space.
Will a new gate suit my Victorian terrace?
Steel or iron gates can be considered alongside the proportions of your frontage, brickwork and existing railings. Cedar timber is also an optional finish. For a terraced property with off-street parking, the gate’s movement and pedestrian access need checking as carefully as its appearance.
Do electric driveway gates have to include an intercom?
No. Modern Gates offers automated gates with or without an intercom. Automation operates the gate, while an intercom helps you communicate with visitors before allowing access. The choice depends on how you want to manage arrivals.
How do I compare driveway gate installers in Hammersmith?
Ask whether the quotation covers measurement, manufacture and fitting, and check which materials, motors and access controls are included. Modern Gates measures on site and makes gates to measure, with Delivery only or Supply and fit options. Our supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days.

Use the website’s product calculators: pricing is based on width × height × a square-metre rate. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit when reviewing your options, and request a site survey to have the opening measured.
