Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street (RM9 4NU) is minutes up the A13, so collection is fast. Air £5.90/kg + £20 handling reaches Lagos & Abuja in days; sea from £70/bag sails to Apapa & Tin Can Island in about 4-6 weeks. We handle Form M, SONCAP and PAAR and deliver door-to-door, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Nigeria.
A port town that knows shipping
Tilbury lives and breathes cargo. The Port of Tilbury has moved goods across the world for generations, and the town has always been diverse, with a working population that's steadily grown to include more African and Nigerian families. It's fitting that folk here choose Rolats to send home. Ironically, while the docks sit on your doorstep, the easiest way to get a barrel to Lagos is through our Dagenham depot, minutes up the A13, where we consolidate, clear and forward it properly to Nigeria.
Free collection across RM18
We collect free from every street in Tilbury, from Calcutta Road and Dock Road to the flats and houses around Civic Square and Tilbury Town station. Book online or by phone, tell us the number of bags, barrels or boxes, and we come with labels and paperwork ready. There's no charge for the pickup and no minimum, so even a single barrel is worth booking.
Air freight to Lagos and Abuja
Need it there fast? Air freight from Tilbury reaches Lagos and Abuja in days at £5.90 per kilo plus a flat £20 handling fee. It's the go-to for documents, electronics, medicines and urgent family sends. We weigh openly and quote all-in in pounds, duty and clearing included, so nothing extra is owed on arrival.
Sea freight from £70 per bag
For bulk foodstuffs and household goods, sea freight from just £70 a bag is the smart choice. Load your Ghana Must Go bags and barrels with garri, egusi, dried fish, clothing and provisions, and we route them through the Apapa and Tin Can Island terminals in Lagos, arriving in around 4-6 weeks, then delivered door-to-door across all 36 states.
Everything cleared, all-in pricing

We prepare Form M, arrange SONCAP and handle PAAR so your goods clear cleanly at the Lagos ports. With everything quoted in GBP before we leave Tilbury, your family in Nigeria has nothing whatsoever to pay when it lands.
