Swing Gates Hounslow for Landlords, Builders and Developers
Swing gates Hounslow landlords and developers choose need to suit the people using the entrance, not just the frontage. Modern Gates supplies made-to-measure gates from Hayes, West London, with manual or automated operation and an optional intercom. Start with the parking layout, who needs access and how the entrance will work once the property is occupied.
- Measured on site
- Supply & fit in 14–28 days
- Steel & iron, made to measure
01
Specifying swing gates Hounslow residents can use comfortably
For a rental property or new development, the gate opening is only part of the specification. Cars need somewhere to wait while the leaves move, residents need a practical route on foot, and parked vehicles must stay clear of the swing. These details deserve attention before a builder finalises the driveway layout or a landlord commits to a particular design.
Hounslow includes terraced frontages, semi-detached homes and newer residential developments, with entrance space varying considerably around Hounslow Central, Hounslow West and towards Isleworth. On compact forecourts and entrances close to busy roads, check the full opening arc rather than judging from the boundary width alone. If there is insufficient clearance, our made-to-measure sliding gates offer an alternative that moves along the boundary.
02
A material and layout specification builders can work from
Our made-to-measure swing gate collection includes single- and double-leaf layouts. A traditional pair meets in the centre of the driveway, while the right arrangement for your property depends on the opening and available clearance. Inward or outward opening can be considered to suit the driveway; do not assume outward movement is suitable where the boundary adjoins a public pavement.
Choose powder-coated steel or iron, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Traditional wrought iron can complement an older frontage, while steel offers another option for a refurbished or newly built entrance. For landlords managing several properties, recording the chosen finish, layout and operation helps keep the specification clear without assuming every opening should use the same dimensions.
Planning a gate in Hounslow?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Decide who opens the gates before choosing the controls
Manual operation may suit a straightforward entrance, while motors provide an automated option. An intercom is a separate choice: think about whether visitors need to contact an occupant before entering and how deliveries will be handled. At a shared rental entrance, agree who needs access and how changes of tenancy will be managed before settling on the controls.
Vehicle access should not be the only consideration. Where the boundary has room, a matching pedestrian gate can provide a separate route for residents and visitors without opening the driveway leaves. Matching finishes and hardware keep the frontage coordinated, with keypad, code lock or smart lock options available for pedestrian access.
04
From site survey to a made-to-measure installation
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates measures on site, makes the gates to your opening and then fits them when you choose Supply and fit. Bring the intended parking arrangement and your manual, motor and intercom preferences into the discussion so the entrance is considered as a working part of the property.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; discuss timing alongside paving, boundary works and property handover plans. Website product calculators use width × height × a square-metre rate, with Delivery only or Supply and fit available. Delivery is available nationwide, giving builders the option to order gates separately from installation.
05
Plan for upkeep after the tenants move in
A gate specification should also account for ongoing use. Keep the leaf paths clear of bins, bicycles and parked cars, and encourage occupants to report changes in movement rather than forcing a reluctant gate. Powder-coated finishes offer a low-maintenance choice, but the moving parts and any automation still need attention over time.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, useful for landlords looking after an existing entrance as well as those planning a replacement. If a gate catches, moves unevenly or develops an operating fault, call 020 3576 4733 to discuss the issue. Describe whether it is manual or automated and what has changed.

Questions from Hounslow homeowners
Will swing gates fit a short driveway in Hounslow?
Possibly, but the leaves need enough clear space to open without meeting parked vehicles or obstructing pedestrian access. The driveway gradient also matters. Request a site survey before choosing the layout; a sliding gate may be more suitable where swing clearance is limited.
Can you supply gates for our builder to install?
Yes. Choose Delivery only rather than Supply and fit on the website’s product calculators. Modern Gates offers nationwide delivery, and gates are made to measure rather than selected solely by a standard opening size.
Can a shared rental entrance have automated gates and an intercom?
Yes, motors and an intercom are available options. Discuss who will use the entrance, how visitors will contact residents and how access will be managed between tenancies when planning the specification.
How long should we allow before a property handover?
The stated supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Discuss your handover date and any unfinished driveway or boundary works when requesting the survey, rather than assuming gate installation can fit around an unconfirmed building schedule.
