Swing gates Uxbridge: parking comes first
On a busy morning, a gate needs enough room to open without asking someone to move the second car. Uxbridge has a varied mix of older terraces, semi-detached homes and newer housing, so driveway depth and parking arrangements differ considerably. Around the town centre and towards Cowley and Hillingdon, it is worth checking the space between the boundary, parked vehicles and the front door rather than judging suitability by entrance width alone.
Swing gates can use a single leaf or two leaves meeting in the middle. The opening direction needs to suit the driveway without obstructing a public pavement, while the ground level must allow clearance throughout the swing. If a short or sloping entrance makes that difficult, compare sliding driveway gates, which move along the boundary instead.
02
Decide how you want to arrive home
Manual gates may suit a household happy to open and close them by hand. Motorised operation offers a more convenient option when you regularly arrive with children, shopping or a full car. When choosing automated swing gates in Uxbridge, consider where you will wait while they open and whether parked vehicles leave the full movement area clear.
An intercom is optional and gives you a way to speak to visitors before allowing access. If family members often arrive on foot while the driveway gates are closed, matching pedestrian gates are also worth considering. Available keypad, code lock or smart lock options can provide a separate everyday route without opening the vehicle entrance.
Planning a gate in Uxbridge?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Choose the view from the house as well as the road
A gate is something you see from inside the property every day. Traditional iron can complement an older frontage, while a simpler steel design may sit comfortably beside a more contemporary home. Neither approach is limited to one housing type: the proportions of the opening and the surrounding boundary should guide the choice.
Our made-to-measure swing gate collection includes powder-coated steel and iron, with cedar timber available as an optional finish. Single- and double-leaf layouts are available, with automation-ready hinges and posts. Discuss materials and operation together so that the appearance you want also works with the way the entrance needs to move.
04
Turn your driveway measurements into a fitting plan
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates measures the entrance on site, makes the gates to those measurements and then fits them when you choose Supply and fit. Use the survey to discuss parking positions, opening clearance, manual or motorised operation, and whether you want an intercom. Our base is at 66 Delamere Road, Hayes, UB4 0NN, near Uxbridge.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days; discuss the timing for your order when making arrangements. Website product calculators work out prices using width × height × a square-metre rate, with a choice of Delivery only or Supply and fit. If you are comparing swing gate installers in Uxbridge, check which option you are viewing so that delivery is not mistaken for installation.
05
Keep small gate problems from disrupting the day
A gate that starts dragging, catching or moving unevenly can quickly become inconvenient when everyone needs to leave. Keep the movement area clear of toys, bins and other obstacles, and pay attention to changes in how the leaves open and close. Avoid forcing a gate that has begun to resist movement.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, including support for existing entrances. Call 020 3576 4733 to discuss the problem, explaining whether the gate is manual or automated and what has changed. For automated gates, keep children away from moving leaves and seek advice if operation becomes unpredictable.

Questions from Uxbridge homeowners
Will swing gates work if we park two cars on our Uxbridge driveway?
They may do, but the leaves need a clear opening arc with the cars in their usual positions. At the site survey, discuss your normal parking arrangement rather than only showing an empty driveway. A different leaf layout or a sliding gate may be more suitable if space is restricted.
Can swing gates open outwards if my driveway is short?
Outward-opening layouts are available, but they must suit the entrance and must not obstruct a public pavement or road. The survey is the opportunity to assess the available space and opening direction. Outward opening is not a workaround for every short driveway.
Do automated swing gates have to include an intercom?
No. Motorised operation and an intercom are separate choices. You can choose manual or automated gates, with or without an intercom, depending on how you want to use the entrance and manage visitors.
How can I compare prices for swing gates near Uxbridge?
Use the product calculators on the Modern Gates website. Prices are calculated from width × height × a square-metre rate. Select either Delivery only or Supply and fit, and make sure you compare the same option when reviewing costs.
