A diverse new town with a growing Nigerian community
Basildon is one of Essex's biggest new towns, and its size and diversity have made it home to a substantial and growing Nigerian and West African community, spread across the town centre, Pitsea, Vange and Fryerns. Many families arrived from East London and beyond, and they keep strong links to home. Rolats serves them well: our Dagenham depot sits a straightforward run down the A13, so barrels and bags from across Basildon reach us quickly and move on to Lagos without hassle.
Free collection across SS13 to SS16
We collect free from every neighbourhood in Basildon, from the town centre and Eastgate Shopping Centre to Pitsea, Vange, Fryerns and the Laindon border. Book online or by phone, tell us how many bags, barrels or boxes you're sending, and we come with labels and paperwork ready. No collection fee, no minimum, and no need to drive anywhere yourself.
Air freight to Lagos and Abuja in days
For anything urgent, air freight from Basildon reaches Lagos and Abuja in days at £5.90 per kilo plus a flat £20 handling fee. It suits documents, electronics, medicines and last-minute family sends perfectly. We weigh everything openly and quote all-in in pounds, clearing included, so nothing extra is owed in Nigeria.
Sea freight from £70 per bag
For the monthly shop and bulk goods, sea freight from £70 a bag is unbeatable value. Fill your Ghana Must Go bags and barrels with garri, egusi, dried fish, clothing and provisions, and we ship them via the Apapa and Tin Can Island terminals in Lagos, arriving in around 4-6 weeks and delivered door-to-door to all 36 states.
