01
Choosing electric gates for an Ealing driveway
Ealing has a varied mix of homes, from period terraces to larger detached properties, so driveway entrances can differ considerably. A gate needs to suit more than the appearance of the house: driveway depth, ground slope and the space needed to turn a car all influence which layout will work.
For a shorter driveway, a sliding gate may avoid the space needed for swinging leaves, provided there is sufficient room alongside the boundary. A deeper entrance may suit a traditional swing gate. The site survey is the opportunity to measure the opening and assess these practical constraints before deciding on a design.
02
Gate styles, materials and finishes
Modern Gates makes steel and iron gates with powder-coated finishes, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Swing gates can use single or double leaves, while sliding gates move along the boundary rather than swinging across the driveway. Tracked and cantilever sliding layouts can be discussed at the survey.
Where the entrance calls for a different approach, turn and slide gates follow a turning track around a corner; the track layout and space requirements need to be confirmed on site. A matching pedestrian gate can complete the boundary with the same finish, colour and hardware, giving you a separate route for access on foot.
Planning a gate in Ealing?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Automation, intercoms and everyday access
Choose a manual gate or an automated gate with motors, with or without an intercom. When planning electric gates in Ealing, consider how you want to use the entrance each day: opening it from the car, admitting visitors and providing access for family members can call for different controls. Sliding gates can be paired with remotes, app access and intercoms.
An intercom provides a way to communicate with visitors at the entrance, while access control options help you plan who can enter. For a matching pedestrian gate, keypad, code lock and smart lock options are available. Discuss your preferred access arrangements during the survey so they can be considered alongside the gate layout.
04
From site survey to made-to-measure installation
If you are comparing electric gate installers in Ealing, start with how the entrance will be measured and planned. Request a Modern Gates site survey online in three quick steps. We measure on site, make the gate to your opening and then fit it, with the choice of manual or motorised operation and an optional intercom.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; ask us to confirm the schedule for your order. Prices are calculated from width × height × a square-metre rate using the website’s product calculators. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit when exploring the options, so you are comparing the service you actually need.
05
Repairs and maintenance for existing gates
A new installation is not always the reason to contact a gate company. Modern Gates also offers gate repairs and maintenance. If you already have electric gates near Ealing that are not operating as expected, call 020 3576 4733 to discuss the problem rather than assuming the whole gate needs replacing.
Before calling, note whether the issue affects movement, closing or the access controls, and whether it happens consistently or intermittently. These observations can help explain the fault. If the gate is moving unpredictably or appears unsafe, stop using it and seek advice rather than repeatedly trying to operate it.

Questions from Ealing homeowners
Can electric gates work on a short or sloping driveway in Ealing?
A sliding gate can suit short entrances and sloped driveways because it travels along the boundary rather than swinging into the driveway. It still needs suitable side space and a workable layout. We measure the entrance on site and discuss tracked or cantilever options where relevant.
How much do made-to-measure electric gates cost?
Gate prices are based on width × height × a square-metre rate, shown on the website’s product calculators. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit, then discuss your automation and intercom requirements so you are clear about the options for your entrance.
How long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates’ supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. The process is to request a survey, have the opening measured on site, then have the gate made to measure and fitted. Confirm the schedule for your order when arranging the work.
Do I need an intercom with my electric gates?
No. You can choose automated gates with or without an intercom. Consider whether you want to speak to visitors at the entrance and how family members will gain access before choosing your controls.
Can I have a matching side gate for access on foot?
Yes. Modern Gates offers matching pedestrian gates with the same finish, colour and hardware as your driveway gate. Keypad, code lock or smart lock access is available, making a separate pedestrian entrance worth considering for regular use.
Do you offer repairs as well as new electric gates in Ealing?
Yes. Modern Gates offers gate repairs and maintenance as well as new made-to-measure installations. Call 020 3576 4733 with a description of your gate and the issue to discuss the next step.
