A growing Ghanaian community
Abbey Wood has grown fast since the Elizabeth Line arrived at its station, and with it a growing African community, including many Ghanaian families drawn by the new homes and quick links into central London. Near the ruins of Lesnes Abbey and along the streets off Wilton Road, home traditions stay strong. Rolats offers Abbey Wood residents a reliable, all-in route to send goods to relatives across Ghana.
Free collection across SE2
From the flats by Abbey Wood station to the houses around Bostall Hill and the Thamesmead border, our driver collects free of charge. There is no need to carry barrels onto the train. We come to your door, wrap and label everything, and take it to our Dagenham depot for onward air or sea shipping to Ghana.
Sea freight and barrels to Tema
Barrels start from £70 by sea, reaching the Port of Tema in roughly four to six weeks. Abbey Wood families fill them with gari, shito, palm oil and dried fish for relatives in Accra, Kumasi and beyond. After ICUMS clearance, we deliver door-to-door across every region. Cars and full containers are quoted on request.
Air freight to Accra in days
When speed counts, air freight at £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee reaches Kotoka in Accra within days. It is ideal for medicines, documents, electronics or urgent gifts for a wedding, funeral or new baby. Everything is quoted in pounds before dispatch, keeping costs clear and predictable.
