Thamesmead's regenerated Southmere estates and riverside new-builds are home to a large, growing Nigerian community. Rolats collects free across SE28 — from The Moorings and Binsey Walk to the Abbey Wood border — to our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street. Air freight £5.90/kg + £20 handling reaches Lagos and Abuja in a few working days; sea cargo from £70 per bag takes 4–6 weeks via the Lagos ports (Apapa & Tin Can Island). We handle Form M, SONCAP and PAAR — door-to-door, all-in GBP, nothing to pay in Nigeria.
Shipping from Thamesmead's estates
Thamesmead has changed fast — the Southmere Lake regeneration and new blocks along Bazalgette Way have drawn many Nigerian families to this riverside pocket of SE28. It's spread out, and public transport can be awkward for heavy loads, which is exactly where free collection earns its keep.
We bring the van to your block. No hauling barrels to Abbey Wood station or waiting for a bus with a Ghana Must Go bag in each hand.
Free collection across SE28
Wherever you are in Thamesmead — The Moorings, Binsey Walk, the estates near Southmere or the Abbey Wood edge — we collect free of charge and take everything to our Dagenham depot.

Sea cargo from £70 & air from £5.90/kg
