Uxbridge · West London
Modern Gates supplies and fits electric gates in Uxbridge, with each gate measured on site and made for your opening. Based nearby in Hayes, we offer sliding, swing and turn and slide designs, with motorised operation and optional intercoms to suit how you use your entrance.
01
The right electric gate needs to suit more than the appearance of your home. Across Uxbridge’s varied residential settings, the space available for parking, the driveway gradient and the angle of approach can all influence which layout is practical. A short frontage needs a different approach from a deeper driveway with room for swinging leaves.
Before choosing a design, consider where your car normally stops and how people reach the front door on foot. When comparing electric gate installers in Uxbridge, ask how the proposed gate will move within the available space. Our on-site measurement is the starting point for a made-to-measure entrance.
02
Sliding gates move along the boundary rather than swinging into the driveway, making them worth considering for short entrances, slopes and tight turns. They still need space for the gate to travel; tracked and cantilever layouts are discussed at survey. Turn and slide gates follow a turning track around a corner, with the track layout and space requirements confirmed on site.
For a more traditional entrance, swing gates offer single- or double-leaf layouts. Opening direction needs to suit the driveway and its surroundings, with adequate clearance throughout the movement. Choose powder-coated steel or iron, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. A matching pedestrian gate can provide a separate route for people on foot.

Motorised operation lets you open and close your driveway gates without moving the leaves by hand. Think about who will need access each day: household members, visitors and deliveries may need different arrangements. Sliding gates can be paired with remotes, app access and intercoms.
Modern Gates offers intercoms and access control, so you can choose an intercom or keep the gate installation without one. If you include a matching pedestrian gate, keypad, code lock or smart lock access is available. Discuss your preferred way of admitting visitors during the survey so it can inform your choices.
04
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure your entrance on site, make the gate to those measurements and then fit it. The survey is the opportunity to discuss the gate layout, finish, motorised operation and whether you want an intercom.
Our supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; ask about scheduling when arranging your order. Website product calculators price gates using width × height × the applicable square-metre rate, with Delivery only and Supply and fit options. For an electric gate installation, discuss your automation and access-control choices alongside the gate itself.
05
Modern Gates also offers gate repairs and maintenance. If an existing gate becomes noisy, moves unevenly or stops responding as expected, describe what happens when you contact us. It is useful to explain whether the issue affects the gate’s movement, its controls or the intercom.
Do not force a stuck gate or continue operating one that appears unsafe. For help with an existing installation, or to discuss new electric gates near Uxbridge, call 020 3576 4733. Our base is at 66 Delamere Road, Hayes, UB4 0NN.
A sliding gate is worth considering because it does not swing into your parking space. It needs room to travel along the boundary, however. A turn and slide layout may offer another option where the track can turn around a corner. The survey confirms the space requirements.
Sliding gates can suit sloped entrances, but the gradient, available travel space and track arrangement need consideration. Tracked and cantilever layouts can be discussed during the site survey rather than choosing a system from the opening width alone.
Gate pricing uses width × height × a square-metre rate, shown on our website’s product calculators. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit, then discuss the motors, intercom and access-control options you want so the requirements are clear.
