Rolats ships cargo to Africa from across Wandsworth — the diverse streets around Tooting Market (SW17), Balham (SW12), Earlsfield (SW18) and leafier Battersea and Putney (SW11, SW18). We collect free from your door and forward via our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU). Air freight £5.90/kg plus £20 handling, sea cargo from £70 per bag, cars and containers quoted per shipment. All prices all-in GBP, door-to-door, nothing to pay in Africa.
From bustling Tooting to riverside Putney
Wandsworth spans a wide mix of communities. Tooting is one of London's most diverse neighbourhoods, home to Tooting Market and large South Asian and African communities who ship goods and personal effects regularly. Further north and west, Battersea and Putney are more affluent — we handle everything from a single box to a full container.
- Tooting & Balham (SW17, SW12): diverse, busy, frequent shippers
- Earlsfield & Wandsworth Town (SW18): family homes near the river
- Battersea & Putney (SW11, SW18): professionals and returning residents
Free door-to-door collection across the borough
You don't need to drive anything anywhere. We come to you — whether that's a flat off Tooting High Street, a terrace in Balham or a house near Putney Bridge. Our depot is over in Dagenham (RM9), so South-West London is a long haul across the city, but that's built into our service. Collection stays free and we work around your day.
