Wrought iron gates Hammersmith: read the street first
Look beyond the opening itself. The height of neighbouring boundaries, the spacing of existing railings and the view towards the front door can all help guide your choice. Hammersmith’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have relatively compact frontages, where an elaborate or overly tall gate may dominate rather than complement the house. Open ironwork can preserve views of the garden and brickwork, although it will not provide solid screening.
For a conservation-sensitive property, check the relevant council guidance before committing to changes to gates, walls or posts. Conservation-area status, listed-building status and the proposed work can affect what permission is needed. Choosing a traditional appearance does not, by itself, establish that a proposal is acceptable.
02
Choose the metalwork and the movement together
Our gates are made in steel or iron with powder-coated finishes; cedar timber is an optional finish. For a period driveway, made-to-measure swing gates offer single- or double-leaf layouts, including the familiar pair meeting in the centre. The choice should account for the opening arc, driveway levels and where the car will stand—not simply how the gates look when closed.
A short entrance may benefit from sliding driveway gates, provided there is suitable room along the boundary. Tracked and cantilever layouts can be discussed at survey. Where the frontage is a garden entrance rather than a driveway, matching pedestrian gates offer a separate solution for front paths and side passages, with coordinated colour, finish and hardware.
Planning a gate in Hammersmith?
We measure your opening on site so your price is exact. Booking takes 3 quick steps.
03
Plan modern access without making it an afterthought
You can choose manual operation or automation with motors, with or without an intercom. Decide how you want to use the entrance before finalising the gate: will you usually arrive on foot, drive in, or answer visitors from the house? An intercom and access control deserve consideration alongside the metalwork, especially where posts and boundary details are visually prominent.
Hammersmith’s quieter residential streets sit close to busy routes such as King Street and Fulham Palace Road. At a road-facing entrance, think about waiting space and pedestrian movement as well as convenience. Automation does not compensate for an unsuitable layout; discuss the gate’s movement, controls and available space during the site survey.

05
Give existing ironwork a fair assessment
A gate that already suits an older frontage is worth assessing before deciding on replacement. Note whether it drags, closes unevenly or has visible damage to its finish, and describe any changes in automated operation. These observations help explain the problem, but they do not establish whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Modern Gates provides gate repairs and maintenance as well as new installations. Powder-coated gates still benefit from attention to their finish and moving parts. If a gate moves unpredictably or appears unsafe, stop using it and arrange an assessment rather than repeatedly trying the controls.

Questions from Hammersmith homeowners
Do I need permission for new gates in a Hammersmith conservation area?
That depends on the property and the proposed changes. Check with Hammersmith & Fulham Council before ordering, particularly if the building is listed or you plan to alter walls or posts. A period-style design does not automatically remove the need for permission.
Can you fit wrought iron gates to a short Hammersmith driveway?
The layout needs to be measured first. Swing gates need a clear opening arc, while sliding gates need space along the boundary. We measure on site to establish which arrangement suits the opening, driveway levels and parking space.
Can I have a garden gate without a driveway gate?
Yes. Pedestrian gates are available for garden entrances and side passages, with delivery-only or supply-and-fit options. Keypad, code lock or smart lock access can also be chosen.
Do wrought iron gates have to be automated?
No. Modern Gates offers manual or automated operation, with or without an intercom. Choose the arrangement around how you enter the property and receive visitors.
