Wrought iron gates Fulham: put the finish first
Powder coating provides a protective finish for steel and iron gates, helping reduce routine upkeep while keeping the entrance looking smart. It is still worth checking for chips or damage, particularly where bikes, bins or other everyday items pass close to the gate. A durable finish works best when damage is noticed rather than left exposed to the weather.
Around Parsons Green and across Fulham’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces, compact front gardens often place gates close to the house and pavement. A restrained design can sit comfortably beside brickwork and existing railings without overwhelming a small frontage. Where a property has a driveway, its gate needs to suit both that setting and the space available behind the boundary.
02
Choose a shape you can live with—and look after
Traditional ironwork and simpler steel designs offer different ways to frame an entrance. Consider how easily you will be able to reach the surfaces for cleaning, as well as how the pattern looks from the street. Our made-to-measure swing gates in steel and iron offer single- or double-leaf layouts, with powder-coated finishes or an optional cedar timber finish. Cedar brings a different appearance, but timber has different care needs from coated metal.
For a short driveway, swinging leaves may take up valuable parking space. Made-to-measure sliding gates move along the boundary instead, provided there is suitable space for their travel. Where the entrance serves a front garden or side passage rather than a car, matching pedestrian gates can carry the same colour, finish and hardware through the boundary.

We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Everyday access without unnecessary complication
Manual operation may be all you need for an entrance used mainly on foot. For driveway gates, motors offer automated opening, with an intercom or no intercom according to your requirements. Decide how you want to admit visitors before choosing the controls: opening for a delivery from inside the house is a different requirement from simply operating the gate when arriving by car.
Near busier routes such as Fulham Road and New King’s Road, pavement activity makes the gate’s movement and waiting space particularly important. Automation should be planned around a suitable opening layout, not used to compensate for limited clearance. Sliding gates can pair with remotes, app access and intercoms; pedestrian gates also offer keypad, code lock or smart lock access.
04
From three online steps to a gate made for your opening
Request a site survey online in three quick steps. Modern Gates measures on site, makes the gate to measure and then fits it when you choose supply and fit. The survey is the opportunity to discuss opening space, levels, finish, manual or automated operation, and whether you want an intercom. Turn-and-slide arrangements, which follow a turning track around a corner, also need their layout and space requirements confirmed at survey.
The supply-and-fit lead time is 14–28 days. Prices are calculated from width × height × a square-metre rate, using the product calculators on the website. Choose Delivery only or Supply and fit when exploring your options. Modern Gates is based in Hayes, West London, and also offers nationwide delivery.
05
Keep small signs of wear from becoming bigger problems
A simple care routine helps protect the finish: remove accumulated dirt gently, keep the gate’s travel area clear and look for coating damage. Pay attention to changes in movement too. Scraping, stiffness or unusual noise can indicate that something needs checking; repeatedly forcing a reluctant gate is not a substitute for finding the cause.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance, so a worn or troublesome entrance does not automatically mean starting again. For an automated gate, looking after the metalwork is only part of the task—the moving equipment needs attention as well. Call 020 3576 4733 to discuss an existing gate or ask about a new entrance.

Questions from Fulham homeowners
Are powder-coated wrought iron gates maintenance-free?
No. Powder coating helps protect the metal and reduce routine upkeep, but the surface should still be cleaned and checked for damage. Hinges and other moving parts also need attention, and automated gates have equipment to maintain beyond the finish itself.
Can you make a gate for a small terraced frontage in Fulham?
Yes. Modern Gates makes gates to measure, including pedestrian gates for garden entrances and side passages. A site survey establishes the opening dimensions and helps determine a suitable layout without assuming that a small frontage has room for driveway gates.
Would sliding or swing gates suit my short Fulham driveway?
Sliding gates can suit short driveways because they move along the boundary rather than into the parking area, but they still need space to travel. Swing gates need adequate clearance through their opening arc. The survey helps establish which arrangement your entrance can accommodate.
Do you install automated wrought iron gates in Fulham with an intercom?
Modern Gates offers made-to-measure gates with manual or motorised operation, plus the option of an intercom. Discuss how vehicles, visitors and deliveries will use the entrance during your survey so the access arrangements can be considered together.
