01
Swing gates Ealing homes can live with
A lasting finish starts with choosing materials you are comfortable looking after. Powder-coated steel and iron offer a practical, low-maintenance starting point, although low maintenance does not mean no maintenance. Cleaning away dirt and checking for damage helps you spot areas that need attention before they become a larger job.
Ealing’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, interwar semis and newer homes calls for more than one gate style. Around Northfields and South Ealing, where front gardens often share space with parking, the gate also needs to work around everyday access. On broader, leafy frontages, the proportions of the entrance may matter just as much as the detailing.
02
Match the metalwork to the house, not just the opening
Steel gives you a straightforward starting point, while traditional wrought iron can complement an older frontage. Both are available with powder-coated finishes. Cedar timber is another finish option if you prefer a warmer appearance, but it is worth considering its care needs alongside the lower-upkeep appeal of coated metal. Explore our made-to-measure swing gate collection to compare the options.
Single- and double-leaf layouts allow the design to respond to your opening rather than forcing a standard pair into it. If your property has a separate side passage, matching pedestrian gates can carry the same finish, colour and hardware across the boundary while giving people a separate way in.

03
Leave room for the car and the gate’s full arc
Swing gates need clear space throughout their movement, not merely enough width between the posts. A parked car, a rising driveway or a tight turn from the road can affect whether the layout is practical. Inward or outward opening can be considered to suit the entrance, but outward movement must not obstruct a public pavement or road. The survey is the point to check those constraints rather than assume a direction will work.
Manual operation may be all you need; motors and an intercom are optional. Think about how you want to admit visitors and whether you need to speak to someone before opening the entrance. Automation-ready hinges and posts are available for swing gates, with the layout considered alongside access needs. Where the swing arc would take up too much parking space, sliding gates for short or sloped driveways are worth comparing.
04
From an online survey request to a made-to-measure fit
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure on site, make the gates to your opening and then fit them. Use the survey to discuss leaf layout, opening direction, finish, manual or motorised operation, and whether you want an intercom. For homeowners comparing swing gate installers in Ealing, those practical decisions are as important as the appearance of the gates.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Website product calculators work out pricing using width × height × a square-metre rate, with a choice of Delivery only or Supply and fit. Modern Gates also offers nationwide delivery. If you want to discuss your Ealing entrance before requesting a survey, call 020 3576 4733.
05
Keep the finish and moving parts in view
A useful care routine covers more than the visible panels. Keep the opening clear, look for damage to the coating and pay attention to changes in movement. Scraping, sagging or a motor that seems to struggle should be assessed rather than treated as normal wear. A durable finish cannot compensate for a gate that is catching every time it opens.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance as well as new installations. If you already have swing gates in Ealing, describe the fault and whether the gates are manual or automated when you contact us. That gives the discussion a clearer starting point than assuming the whole entrance needs replacing.

Questions from Ealing homeowners
Which finish should I choose if keeping maintenance down is my priority?
Powder-coated steel or iron is a sensible starting point. The coating still needs occasional cleaning and checks for damage. Cedar timber is an optional finish if you prefer its appearance, but consider its care requirements before choosing on looks alone.
Will swing gates work on a short driveway in Northfields?
It depends on the space available for the leaves to move with your car parked inside. The survey checks the opening and surrounding clearance. If the swing arc would interfere with parking, a sliding layout may be more practical.
Can my gates open outwards if the driveway slopes upwards?
Outward opening is an option only where the entrance allows it without obstructing the public pavement or road. A slope also needs assessing against the gate’s movement. Do not assume outward opening solves the problem; discuss the layout at the survey.
Can I have automated swing gates without an intercom?
Yes. Motorised operation and an intercom are separate choices, so you can select automated gates with or without an intercom. Manual gates are also available.
How do I check the price and fitting lead time?
Use the website’s product calculators, which calculate price from width × height × a square-metre rate. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit. The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days, and the process includes an on-site measure before manufacture.
