Swing gates West London: a boundary that works when closed
Peace of mind depends on more than having gates at the entrance: you need enough space to close them once the car is parked. Across West London, from the interwar semis around Hayes and Greenford to larger front gardens in parts of Ealing, driveway depth and parking arrangements vary considerably. Check where vehicles sit, where people walk and whether the leaves would interrupt either route.
Single or double leaves can open inward or outward to suit the driveway, but an outward-opening layout needs sufficient private space rather than swinging across a public pavement. Sloping ground also needs careful assessment. If the opening arc would make closing the gates impractical, compare our made-to-measure sliding gates, which move along the boundary instead.
02
Choose the boundary you want to see from home
Security need not mean a frontage that feels out of place. Traditional iron can complement an older house, while powder-coated steel offers another option for both established and newer homes. Cedar timber is available as an optional finish where you prefer a warmer appearance. Consider the gate alongside existing brickwork, fencing and the proportions of the house, rather than choosing it in isolation.
Our made-to-measure swing gate collection includes single- and double-leaf layouts, with automation-ready hinges and posts. Discuss how much screening you want alongside visibility when leaving the driveway. On residential roads feeding into busy West London routes, being able to assess pedestrians and approaching traffic remains important whatever material you choose.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Separate permission to enter from the effort of opening
Motors handle movement; an intercom helps you decide whom to admit. Modern Gates offers manual or automated gates, with or without an intercom, so these are separate choices rather than an all-or-nothing package. Think through how household members, expected visitors and deliveries should get access before settling on the controls. Automation adds convenience, but should not be treated as a guarantee of security.
Where space allows, a matching pedestrian gate with access-control options can provide a separate route for people on foot, avoiding the need to open the driveway entrance for every arrival. Keypad, code lock or smart lock access is available for pedestrian gates. At the survey, raise any concerns about children, pets or people passing close to moving leaves so safety can be considered alongside convenience.
04
Bring your access questions to the on-site survey
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. We measure your entrance on site, make the gates to measure and then fit them. Use the visit to discuss parking positions, ground levels, opening direction, materials and whether you want motors or an intercom. These details matter more than judging the entrance width from a photograph.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Website product calculators price gates using width × height × a square-metre rate, with Delivery only or Supply and fit options. Confirm the specification and timing for your order before arranging other driveway work. If you are comparing swing gate installers in West London, Modern Gates is based at 66 Delamere Road, Hayes, UB4 0NN; call 020 3576 4733 to discuss your entrance.
05
Do not let a small fault leave the entrance open
A gate that catches the ground, no longer meets neatly or operates inconsistently can become something you leave open to avoid the inconvenience. Addressing those changes helps keep the entrance useful. Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, so an existing gate problem does not automatically mean starting again with a replacement.
Keep the travel area clear and look out for visible damage to the finish, hinges or posts. If an automated gate moves unpredictably, keep people clear and seek advice rather than repeatedly testing or forcing it. When contacting us, describe what has changed and whether the fault affects movement, closure or access controls.

Questions from West London homeowners
Will swing gates fit a short West London driveway?
Possibly, but the gates need room to move with your car parked inside. The survey should consider driveway depth, parking positions, ground levels and pedestrian access as well as width. A sliding layout may be worth considering if there is insufficient opening space.
Can my gates open outwards towards the pavement?
Outward-opening swing gates are an option only where the layout allows them to operate appropriately within private space. Do not assume they can swing over the public pavement. Discuss the boundary and available clearance during the site survey.
Do I need an intercom with automated swing gates?
No. Modern Gates offers automated gates with or without an intercom. Motors open and close the gates, while an intercom helps you manage visitor access. Choose according to how you want household members, guests and deliveries to enter.
How much do made-to-measure swing gates cost?
Prices are calculated using width × height × a square-metre rate on the website's product calculators. Select Delivery only or Supply and fit, then discuss your chosen materials, automation and intercom requirements when confirming the specification.
Where are you based, and how long does supply and fitting take?
Modern Gates is based in Hayes, West London, at 66 Delamere Road, UB4 0NN. The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Request a survey online in three quick steps or call 020 3576 4733 to discuss your requirements.
Can you help with existing swing gates that no longer close properly?
Modern Gates offers gate repairs and maintenance. Explain whether the leaves catch, fail to meet or have an operating fault so the problem can be discussed. Avoid forcing the gates or attempting adjustments to automated equipment yourself.
