Sliding gates Feltham: plan your new-build entrance
On a new-build driveway, sliding gates Feltham homeowners choose need space beside the entrance rather than a clear swing across the parking area. Getting that layout right early helps bring the gate, boundary and parking together. Modern Gates supplies and fits made-to-measure gates from our Hayes, West London base, with a choice of manual or automated operation.

Sliding gates Feltham: design around the parking layout
Feltham has a mix of terraced streets, post-war semis and newer housing, with varied frontage widths towards Bedfont and Hanworth. A contemporary home does not necessarily have a deep driveway. Where cars park close to the entrance, a gate that travels along the boundary can avoid the space needed by swinging leaves and help with tight turning arrangements.
The important check is where the open gate will sit. Our made-to-measure sliding gates suit short entrances and can work with sloped driveways, but the available side run and ground levels still need assessing. Tracked and cantilever layouts are discussed at survey. If a straight run is restricted, ask whether a turn-and-slide gate layout, which follows a turning track around a corner, could suit the site.
02
Bring the gate into the exterior colour scheme
For a new-build or recently modernised Feltham home, consider the entrance alongside the window frames, front door and boundary treatment. The gate should feel like part of that scheme rather than a separate addition. Each sliding leaf is built on a steel chassis to match the measured opening, then powder-coated in your chosen finish.
Modern Gates offers steel and iron gates, with cedar timber as an optional finish where you want a warmer appearance. If the property also has a side passage, matching pedestrian gates can carry the same finish, colour and hardware through to the walking entrance. That also lets you plan access on foot separately from vehicle access.
Planning a gate in Feltham?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Separate everyday arrivals from visitor access
Think about who will use the entrance before choosing the controls. Manual operation is an option, while motors allow automated opening. Sliding gates can pair with remotes or app access, so you can discuss how you would prefer to enter and leave rather than choosing automation simply because the house is modern.
An intercom is optional, not a requirement of an automated gate. It is worth considering if visitors and deliveries will arrive at a closed boundary. Discuss intercoms and access control during the survey, including where people will stand to use them and how pedestrian access should work alongside the moving gate.
04
Measure the entrance before committing to manufacture
Start by requesting a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure at your Feltham property, make the gate to those dimensions and then fit it. For a new-build entrance or a driveway being altered, let us know about planned changes to paving, walls or posts so the discussion reflects the intended finished layout, not just what is there on survey day.
Our supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; confirm the schedule for your order when arranging the work. Website product calculators price gates using width × height × the square-metre rate, with Delivery only or Supply and fit options. If you are comparing sliding gate installers in Feltham, use the same dimensions and operation choices for each comparison so you are considering equivalent specifications.
05
Keep the opening route clear after installation
A sliding entrance needs its travel space after fitting as well as on installation day. Avoid gradually filling that boundary run with bins, planters or stored items. For a tracked layout, keep an eye on debris around the track; powder-coated metal still benefits from care and should not be treated as maintenance-free.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, whether your enquiry concerns an existing entrance or ongoing care. If a gate starts moving unevenly or becomes unreliable, arrange an assessment rather than forcing it.

Questions from Feltham homeowners
Will a sliding gate work on a short Feltham driveway?
It can, because the leaf moves along the boundary instead of swinging into the parking area. You still need sufficient space beside the opening for it to travel. The site survey checks that space, the entrance dimensions and ground levels before a layout is agreed.
When should I arrange a survey for a new-build entrance?
Arrange it while you are coordinating the driveway and boundary work, and explain any changes still planned. Measurements need to reflect the intended finished opening. Discuss paving levels, walls and posts before the gate is made.
Can I have an electric sliding gate without an intercom?
Yes. Automated operation and an intercom are separate choices. You can discuss motors with remote or app access without adding an intercom, or include an intercom if you want a way to manage visitors at the entrance.
How do I get a price for a made-to-measure sliding gate?
Use the website product calculators with your width and height. Pricing is based on width × height × the square-metre rate, and you can select Delivery only or Supply and fit. On-site measurement establishes the dimensions for manufacture.
