Specialist Housings

Due to the diversity and adaptability of Rollalong's building systems we are able to provide Specialist Housings for a variety of uses, some more unusual than others.

Prefabricated Plant rooms

In any building project, the plant room fit out will usually be on the critical path of the project program. Where the area of the building exceeds 500m² a dedicated modular plant room is a significant benefit. Usually the installation of boilers; calorifers; pump sets; tanks; distribution boards and other equipment will take up to 6 weeks on site, compounded by site working conditions, lack of reasonable access and temporary power supplies.

Working in a factory environment, the work is carried rapidly in dry, warm conditions ensuring work of the highest quality all year round. Our M & E partners will provide a full design and installation service for your needs or alternatively we can build to your specification.

Plant rooms vary in size from 4 x 4m up to 16 x 4m and we can accommodate dead weights of up to 20 tonnes.

CompPod

In association with IMC, the specialist in food waste recycling, Rollalong produce the CompPod.

This is a revolutionary new way of dealing with cooked food waste.
The CompPod unit is an advanced composter, designed to your output kitchens output rate, and produces compost within 6 weeks. It takes the macerated and dewatered waste, mixes it with a small quantity of compressed wood pellets and produces compost to BSI PAS100 standard.

In order to avoid all disposal charges the tiny volume of compost can be used on site and this makes the CompPod one of the most cost effective recycling solutions.

Traveller's Welfare Facilities

The latest estimate from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (2009), which assesses the accommodation needs of Gypsy and Traveller communities in England, is that around 6,000 additional pitches are needed within the next five years. This is approximately a 122% increase in the number of required pitches based on the 4,918 pitches already in existence (Jan 2010)

Rollalong are proud to be involved in this major development where cultural tradition plays such an important part in the design of the Welfare facilities.

Rollalong units vary in size according to the design but generally incorporate:-

Kitchen facilities,
DDA or ambulant bathroom or shower rooms
Living / dining areas
Large glazed areas
Carpet and vinyl floor finishes
Gas heating (bottle or mains)
Independent metering of units
Sustainable code 3 and above.

The external treatment to the units can be a combination of:-

Brick finish
Self-colour render
Timber cladding
Stoneface or CP Weatherboarding.
