Shipping to Ghana from Plumstead SE18? Rolats offers free collection along Plumstead High Street and around Plumstead Common, then consolidates at our Dagenham depot (494 Gale Street, RM9 4NU) across the river. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling into Kotoka within days; sea freight starts from £70 per bag or barrel to the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks. We raise the CTN before sailing and deliver door-to-door across Ghana, all-in GBP with nothing to pay in Ghana.
A heavily African residential area
Plumstead is one of South East London's most African neighbourhoods, with Ghanaian families filling the terraced streets between Plumstead High Street and Plumstead Common. Next door to Woolwich, it shares that area's thriving community life, with food shops, churches and family networks stretching straight back to Accra and Kumasi. Rolats gives Plumstead residents an honest, all-in way to send barrels and boxes home.
Free collection across SE18
From the shops along Plumstead High Street to the houses around Winns Common and up towards the Shooters Hill border, our driver collects free of charge. You do not need to move heavy barrels yourself. We wrap, label and log everything before taking 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. Plumstead families pack them with shito, gari, dried fish and palm oil for relatives across Ghana. After ICUMS clearance at Tema, we deliver door-to-door to Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and every region. Cars and containers are quoted separately.
Air freight to Kotoka in days
For urgent needs, air freight at £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee reaches Kotoka in Accra within days. It suits medication, documents, electronics and anything time-sensitive for a family event. The price is agreed in pounds upfront, so you know exactly what you are paying before dispatch.
Reliable, all-in GBP service
Rolats has served the South East London Ghanaian community since 2007 and holds a 4.7/5 rating. Your Plumstead quote is all-inclusive and in pounds, covering the CTN raised before sailing and door-to-door delivery after ICUMS clearance at Tema. Your family pays nothing in Ghana. We are HMRC Customs Authorised with a valid EORI.
