Swing Gates Hayes: Built Around Family Routines
Swing gates Hayes families use every day need to work around school runs, shopping and where the car actually parks. Modern Gates makes steel and iron driveway gates to measure, with manual or automated operation and optional intercoms. Based in Hayes, we start with your entrance and daily routine rather than asking you to adapt to a standard-sized gate.

Choosing swing gates Hayes driveways can accommodate
Across Hayes, from established residential streets around Hayes End to homes nearer Hayes & Harlington station, front gardens and parking arrangements vary considerably. A semi-detached house may have room for a double-leaf entrance, while a shorter frontage needs closer attention to the space between the boundary and a parked car. The important question is whether the leaves can open fully without disrupting everyday parking or the route to your front door.
During your survey, discuss where each family car normally stands and how people walk through the entrance. Both single- and double-leaf layouts are available, with the opening direction considered against the space available. If a slope or short driveway leaves too little swing clearance, our made-to-measure sliding gates are worth considering instead.
02
Less getting in and out on busy mornings
Automated swing gates can remove the repeated task of getting out of the car to open and close the entrance. That can be particularly useful when you are carrying shopping or managing the school run in wet weather. Modern Gates offers motor-operated gates as well as manual versions, so automation is a choice rather than a requirement.
An intercom adds a way to speak with visitors before admitting them; gates can also be supplied without one. Think about pedestrian arrivals too: children coming home on foot, visitors and deliveries may not need the full driveway entrance. A matching pedestrian gate, with keypad, code lock or smart lock options, can provide a separate route where the boundary has room.
Planning a gate in Hayes?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
A family entrance that belongs with the house
Hayes has a mix of older terraces, interwar semis and newer homes, so one gate style will not suit every frontage. Traditional wrought iron can complement an established house, while a simpler steel design may sit comfortably beside a more contemporary exterior. Cedar timber is an optional finish for households that prefer a warmer appearance.
Our made-to-measure swing gate collection includes single leaves and paired leaves that meet in the centre. Steel and iron gates are powder-coated, and automation-ready hinges and posts are available. Consider the gate alongside your existing walls, railings and front door, but keep the practical layout first: a design should not leave the family car competing with the opening leaves for space.

From a three-step survey request to fitting
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure on site, make the gates to your opening, then fit them if you choose Supply and fit. The survey is the time to discuss leaf layout, opening clearance, manual or motorised operation, and whether you want an intercom. The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days.
For an initial price, use the website’s product calculators: pricing is based on width × height × a square-metre rate. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit so you are looking at the option you actually need. If you are comparing swing gate installers in Hayes, you can also contact Modern Gates at 66 Delamere Road, Hayes, UB4 0NN, or call 020 3576 4733 to discuss your entrance.
05
Keep the entrance working for everyday life
A gate that starts dragging, moving unevenly or responding inconsistently deserves attention rather than becoming another daily workaround. Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, so an existing entrance can be assessed without assuming it needs replacing. When you get in touch, explain whether the problem affects the leaves, the powered operation or access through the gate.
For routine care, keep the opening area clear and watch for changes in movement or visible damage. Do not force a sticking gate or try to adjust powered equipment yourself. If an automated gate behaves unexpectedly, keep people clear of its movement and seek advice before continuing to use it.

Questions from Hayes homeowners
Will swing gates work on a short Hayes driveway?
Possibly, but the leaves need enough clear space to open with your car in its normal parking position. A site survey helps establish whether a single- or double-leaf layout works. If clearance is too restricted, a sliding layout may be more suitable.
Can my gates open outwards towards the pavement?
Outward-opening layouts are an option only where the setting allows them. Do not assume gates can swing across a public pavement or road. The survey should consider your boundary and available clearance before the opening direction is chosen.
Do swing gates in Hayes have to be automated?
No. Modern Gates offers manual and automated swing gates, with or without an intercom. Choose around how often you use the driveway and whether you are comfortable opening and closing the gates by hand.
How can I check the price before requesting a survey?
Use the website’s product calculators, which calculate pricing from width × height × a square-metre rate. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit. Your opening is measured on site as part of the survey process.
How long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates’ supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. The process starts with an online survey request, followed by on-site measurement, made-to-measure manufacture and fitting.
