Rolats ships cargo to Africa from all of Lambeth — Brixton and Electric Avenue (SW9), Streatham (SW16), Clapham (SW4) and Stockwell (SW8). We collect free from your door and forward from 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. Everything is all-in GBP, door-to-door, with nothing to pay at the African end.
Serving one of Britain's most iconic African-Caribbean areas
Brixton has been a heartland of African and Caribbean life in Britain for generations, and Rolats knows the SW9 area well. Whether you're sending barrels of goods back home from a stall near Brixton Market and Electric Avenue, or a personal shipment from a flat in Streatham, we make it simple.
- Brixton & Stockwell (SW9, SW8): busy, well-connected, strong West African presence
- Streatham & West Norwood (SW16, SE27): family homes and small businesses shipping regularly
- Clapham & Vauxhall (SW4, SW8): professionals sending goods and personal effects
Free collection across Lambeth — even though we're East London
Our depot sits in Dagenham, right over on the far east side of the city, so Lambeth is a fair drive across London. That's our problem, not yours. Collection remains completely free and we arrange it around your schedule — morning, evening or weekend. You pack, we pick up from Brixton, Clapham or Streatham, and the box is on its way.
Air freight and sea cargo, priced clearly
No hidden fees and no surprises at the destination.
- Air freight: £5.90 per kg plus a flat £20 handling charge — fast, ideal for urgent or valuable items
- Sea cargo: from £70 per bag — the economical choice for larger, heavier loads
- Cars & containers: quoted individually per shipment
Everything is billed all-in GBP, so there is nothing to pay when your cargo lands.
