Rolats ships cargo to Africa from Salisbury — we arrange free collection from your Salisbury address (Bemerton, Harnham, Laverstock and across Wiltshire) into our Dagenham depot, then ship by air (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) or sea (from £70 per bag) to Nigeria, Ghana and right across the continent. True door-to-door, quoted all-in in GBP — no charges at the African end. *(Dagenham is our depot; we cover Salisbury by free collection — there's no separate Salisbury office.)*

Which parts of Salisbury do you cover?
All of Salisbury and Wiltshire. We collect regularly across Bemerton, Harnham, Laverstock, Old Sarum and surrounding areas. We collect free across Salisbury and south Wiltshire, from Harnham and Bemerton to Laverstock and Old Sarum.
Do you have a Salisbury office?
No — and you don't need one. Our depot is at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham (RM9 4NU), and we serve Salisbury through free collection, so we come to you. The whole point is that you don't drive to Dagenham — we pick up in Salisbury. If you'd rather drop off or arrange your own transport to the depot, that's fine too.
Air or sea cargo from Salisbury?
It comes down to speed versus cost.
- Air freight — £5.90/kg + £20 handling; arrives in a few working days. Best for urgent, fragile or high-value items.
