Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Newham with free collection from your door in East Ham, Forest Gate, Stratford, Plaistow or anywhere across the E6, E7, E12, E13, E15 and E16 postcodes. Your barrels and boxes come to our Dagenham depot — barely four miles east down the A13 — then ship by air (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) or sea (from £70 per bag) to Nigeria, Ghana and right across the continent. Door-to-door, all-in GBP, nothing to pay at the African end.
Shipping to Africa from one of London's most African boroughs
Few parts of the UK are as connected to Africa as Newham. Walk East Ham High Street North or Green Street and you'll pass African food shops, money-transfer bureaux and the Pentecostal congregations — RCCG, Mountain of Fire, and dozens more — whose members send cargo home every month. We collect from all of it: East Ham, Forest Gate, Manor Park, Plaistow, Canning Town, Beckton and Stratford. Because our depot sits just over the border in Dagenham, a Newham collection is one of the quickest we run — often same-week.
Which parts of Newham do you collect from?
Every corner of the borough — the E6, E7, E12, E13, E15, E16 and E20 postcodes:
- East Ham & Upton Park — barrels and boxes from the High Street North community
- Forest Gate & Manor Park — household goods and personal effects
- Stratford & Maryland — flats and new-build removals near Westfield
- Plaistow, Canning Town, Custom House & Beckton — larger loads and vehicles
Free collection from your Newham address; we bring it to Dagenham and ship.
Barrels, 'Ghana Must Go' bags and food parcels
The everyday Newham shipment is a drum or two of foodstuffs, a few 'Ghana Must Go' bags of clothes, and boxes of household goods for family back home. We handle all of it — pack-and-collect from your flat, weigh and consolidate at Dagenham, and send by the cheaper of air or sea. Sending garri, egusi, dried fish or provisions? We'll advise what packs safely for the sea route so nothing spoils on the four-to-six-week crossing.
Cars and container loads from Newham
Moving back to Nigeria or Ghana, or sending a vehicle to family? We ship cars, vans and 4x4s by RoRo and in containers, and we load full 20ft and 40ft containers for house moves and traders working out of Newham's markets. Collection of a vehicle from Canning Town or Beckton is straightforward — we're on the doorstep.
