01
Is a sliding gate right for your Hounslow driveway?
On Hounslow’s residential roads, a short front driveway or a tight turn into the entrance can leave little room for swinging gate leaves. A sliding gate keeps that swing area clear, making it worth considering where parking space is limited. It can also suit a sloped entrance, depending on the layout.
The important check is whether there is enough space beside the opening for the gate to move back. During the site survey, we measure your entrance and discuss tracked or cantilever layouts. If a straight sliding route is restricted, a turn and slide gate may be worth exploring; its turning track and space requirements need to be confirmed on site.
02
Gate materials and finishes to suit your home
Every sliding gate leaf is made to your exact opening on a steel chassis and powder-coated in your chosen finish. Modern Gates offers steel and iron gates, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. The choice lets you consider both the appearance of your home and the character of its boundary.
A powder-coated metal finish can complement a straightforward driveway entrance, while cedar adds the warmth of timber. Rather than choosing from appearance alone, consider how the gate will look alongside existing walls, fencing and any side entrance. A matching pedestrian gate is also available if you want a consistent finish across the boundary.
Planning a gate in Hounslow?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Manual gates, automation and intercoms
Choose a manually operated sliding gate or add motors for automated operation. Sliding gates can pair with remotes, app access and intercoms, so you can plan how you want to open the entrance rather than treating access as an afterthought.
An intercom is optional. Think about who needs access day to day, how you want to handle visitors and whether you need a separate route for people arriving on foot. Discuss these needs at the survey so your gate and access-control choices work together.
04
From site survey to installation
If you are comparing sliding gate installers in Hounslow, start with the measurements and layout rather than an assumed standard size. Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We then measure on site, make the gate to measure and fit it, with the layout, finish, manual or automated operation, and intercom choice discussed as part of planning.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Ask about timing for your chosen specification when arranging the work. You can select either Delivery only or Supply and fit through the website’s product calculators; nationwide delivery is available for delivery-only orders.
05
Repairs and maintenance for sliding gates
Modern Gates also offers gate repairs and maintenance. If your existing gate is difficult to move or its automated operation has become unreliable, a repair enquiry is a sensible first step rather than assuming you need a replacement.
When you contact us, explain whether the gate is manual or automated and describe what happens when you try to operate it. For a new installation, ask about maintenance for your chosen layout and finish. Call 020 3576 4733 to discuss repairs or your plans for a new entrance.

Questions from Hounslow homeowners
Will a sliding gate work on my short driveway in Hounslow?
It may do. A sliding gate does not need a swing arc inside the driveway, which can help on short entrances. However, it needs space alongside the opening to slide back. The site survey checks the measurements and suitable layout.
Can you fit sliding gates on a sloped entrance?
Sliding gates can suit sloped entrances, but the slope and available space need to be assessed together. We discuss tracked or cantilever layouts during the survey rather than assuming one arrangement will suit every driveway.
How much does a made-to-measure sliding gate cost?
Pricing is calculated from width × height × a square-metre rate using the website’s product calculators. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit, and consider whether you want manual operation, automation or an intercom when planning your specification.
Do I have to choose an electric sliding gate?
No. Manual and automated options are available. If you choose automation, sliding gates can pair with remotes, app access and intercoms. An intercom is optional rather than a requirement.
