Shipping to Ghana from Woolwich SE18? Rolats offers free collection around Powis Street, Beresford Square and Woolwich town centre, then consolidates at our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU), just across the river. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling into Kotoka within days; sea freight starts from £70 per bag or barrel to the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks. We raise the CTN before sailing and deliver door-to-door across Ghana, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Ghana.
One of London's biggest West African communities
Woolwich is home to one of London's largest West African populations, with a substantial Ghanaian community alongside Nigerian neighbours. Powis Street and Beresford Square buzz with shops selling shito, gari, dried fish and Ghana Must Go bags, and the churches are among the most vibrant in the capital. For Woolwich families, sending goods home to Ghana is a regular part of life, and Rolats is the trusted partner for it.
Free collection right across SE18
Woolwich sits just across the river from our Dagenham depot, an easy hop, but you still never need to travel there. From Powis Street and Beresford Square to the flats around Woolwich Arsenal and General Gordon Square, our driver collects your barrels and boxes for free. We handle the wrapping, labelling and logging before onward air or sea shipping to Ghana.
Barrels and sea freight to Tema
Sea freight from £70 per barrel is the workhorse of Woolwich shipping. Families fill barrels with palm oil, gari, shito and provisions, and we sail them to the Port of Tema in roughly four to six weeks. Door-to-door delivery then reaches Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and every region. Cars and full containers are quoted on request.
Fast air freight into Accra
Air freight at £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee lands at Kotoka in Accra within days. It is ideal for the urgent things: medication, documents, electronics or a special outfit for a wedding, funeral or naming ceremony. The price is fixed in pounds before dispatch, so you always know the full cost.
Warm service, honest pricing
The Ghanaian community in Woolwich deserves a shipper that understands it, and Rolats has since 2007. Your quote is all-inclusive and in GBP, covering the CTN raised before sailing and door-to-door delivery after ICUMS clearance at Tema. Your family pays nothing in Ghana. We are HMRC Customs Authorised with an EORI and a 4.7/5 rating.
