01
Is a sliding gate right for your Ealing driveway?
Ealing has a varied mix of homes and driveway layouts, from compact front parking spaces to wider entrances. Where parking leaves little room for swinging gate leaves, a sliding gate can be a practical alternative. It can also suit short driveways, tight turns and sloped entrances, subject to the layout of the site.
The key consideration is where the gate will go when it opens: it needs space to slide alongside the entrance. During your site survey, we measure the opening and discuss the available space, including whether a tracked or cantilever layout is appropriate. A slope alone does not determine suitability; the whole entrance needs to be considered.
02
Gate materials and finishes for your home
Every sliding gate leaf is made to your exact opening on a steel chassis. Our gate materials include steel and iron, with powder-coated finishes and an optional cedar timber finish. You can choose a finish that complements your home and boundary rather than adapting the entrance to a standard-sized gate.
When considering the appearance, look at the gate alongside your existing walls, railings and front door. Powder-coated metal offers a different character from the warmth of cedar timber. If you also need separate access on foot, a matching pedestrian gate can carry the same finish, colour and hardware through the boundary.
Planning a gate in Ealing?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Manual gates, automation and intercoms
Choose a manual sliding gate or an automated gate with a motor. Sliding gates can be paired with remotes, app access and intercoms, allowing you to plan how you want to operate the entrance day to day. Automation is worth considering if you regularly arrive by car and prefer not to open the gate manually.
An intercom is optional, not a requirement. Think about how visitors and deliveries will announce their arrival, and whether you want separate pedestrian access. Discussing these routines at the survey helps you choose between a straightforward manual gate and an automated entrance with access control.
04
From site survey to made-to-measure installation
If you are comparing sliding gate installers in Ealing, start with the opening and layout rather than appearance alone. Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates then measures on site, makes the gate to measure and fits it, with the layout, finish, manual or automated operation, and intercom requirements discussed as part of planning.
Our supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; ask how that applies to your order when arranging the work. For pricing, use the website’s product calculators: prices are calculated from width × height × the square-metre rate. Select either Delivery only or Supply and fit according to what you need. Nationwide delivery is also available.
05

Modern Gates also offers gate repairs and maintenance. If you already have a sliding gate that is difficult to move or is not operating as expected, contact us about the problem rather than assuming a replacement is necessary.

Questions from Ealing homeowners
Will a sliding gate work on a short driveway in Ealing?
It can be a good option because it does not swing into the driveway. However, there must be sufficient space alongside the opening for the gate to slide back. The site survey checks the opening and available layout before the gate is made.
Can you fit a sliding gate at a sloped entrance?
Sliding gates can suit sloped entrances, but the direction of the slope and space beside the opening matter. We discuss tracked and cantilever layouts at the survey rather than assuming one arrangement will suit every driveway.
Do I have to choose an electric gate with an intercom?
No. You can choose manual or automated operation, and either include an intercom or leave it out. Remotes, app access and intercoms are options for an automated sliding entrance.
How much do made-to-measure sliding gates cost?
Prices depend on width × height × the square-metre rate shown in our website’s product calculators. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit when using the calculator, and discuss your layout and requirements during the site survey.
How long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates has a supply-and-fit lead time of 14–28 days. The process is to request a survey online, have the opening measured on site, then have the gate made to measure and fitted. Ask how the lead time applies to your order when arranging the work.
Can you help with an existing sliding gate in Ealing?
Yes, Modern Gates offers gate repairs and maintenance as well as new installations. Call 020 3576 4733 with details of your gate and the issue so you can discuss the next step.
