New RAF Accommodation Delivered at MOD Lyneham

by | Mar 4, 2026 | Company News

February has been a milestone month for us at Rollalong. We’ve installed the first module on our inaugural Meanwhile Use housing scheme for Wates Residential and the London Borough of Havering, a big step towards delivering much‑needed temporary homes. It was great to have pupils from St Edward’s CofE Academy and local councillors join us on site to see the project taking shape.

At MOD Lyneham, our team has delivered 3 new SLA accommodation blocks for Kier Construction and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO). It’s another strong example of modular construction supporting complex Defence programmes with quality, consistency and pace.

We’re also proud to be working with the RNLI on a new project that’s now underway. It’s an organisation that does astonishing work, and we’re incredibly excited to share more information about this very soon.

Looking ahead, there’s an increasing focus on SEND provision across the country. Schools and local authorities are under pressure to provide adaptable, welcoming spaces that meet specific learning needs with little disruption. Our modular education buildings are designed to do just that.

First Modules Delivered to London Borough of Havering

The first modules have now arrived at Waterloo and Queens Street in the London Borough of Havering, marking an exciting milestone for the project. To celebrate, we held a landing event with local school children, councillors, and project partners.

Wates and Rollalong gave presentations to introduce guests to the meanwhile homes as well as the larger scheme for the site. Afterwards, everyone watched as the first module was lifted into place.

Rollalong Appoints New Design Director Simon Biddlecombe

It’s been great to see the impact our Design Director, Simon  Biddlecombe, is already having across recent projects. Simon brings more than three decades of experience to Rollalong, including senior roles at Wates Group and Mansell/Balfour Beatty, and this isn’t his first time with us. He started his career here back in the late ’90s, so it really does feel like things have come full circle.

Welcome back to the Rollalong team, Simon!
