Rolats ships cargo to Africa from across the suburban borough of Sutton — Sutton town centre (SM1), Carshalton (SM5), Wallington (SM6) and Cheam (SM3). Sutton is a quieter outer borough, so we lead on convenience: free door-to-door collection and forwarding via our Dagenham depot (RM9 4NU). Air freight £5.90/kg plus £20 handling, sea cargo from £70 per bag, cars and containers quoted. All all-in GBP, nothing to pay in Africa.
Suburban Sutton, made simple
Sutton is a leafy outer-London borough, and its African community is smaller than in inner boroughs — we'd rather be honest about that than overstate it. What matters is that wherever you are in SM1 to SM6, shipping to Africa is just as easy.
- Sutton & Belmont (SM1, SM2): the borough's main town centre and stations
- Carshalton & Wallington (SM5, SM6): quiet residential streets
- Cheam & Worcester Park (SM3): family homes on the Surrey fringe
Free collection is the big convenience here
In a spread-out borough like Sutton, not having to haul boxes anywhere is a real saving. We collect free from your door in Sutton, Carshalton, Wallington or Cheam. Our depot is over in Dagenham (RM9) in far East London — a genuinely long drive across the city — but the collection is free and arranged entirely around your schedule.
Clear air and sea pricing
The same honest pricing applies wherever you are:
- Air freight: £5.90/kg plus £20 handling — fast for urgent or valuable items
- Sea cargo: from £70 per bag — economical for larger shipments
- Cars & containers: quoted per shipment
Everything is all-in GBP to the door — no fees waiting in Africa.
