Looking for self storage in Barrington and not keen on hiring a van for the weekend? Storage2u has a simpler answer. We bring a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Barrington property, you load it at your own pace, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot until you need it back.
Barrington and the streets around the mall are a settled residential pocket of south Christchurch. The most common storage reasons we hear here are renovations on older brick-and-tile homes, downsizing into a smaller place once the family has left, and short-term storage between selling one house and settling on the next. The mobile model means no trips to a storage facility on the edge of town.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for residential and small-business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch winters cause in cheaper steel boxes. For furniture sitting in storage during a renovation, that ventilation is genuinely important.
Storage2u is run by Sue and Paul, a husband-and-wife team based at their depot in Upper Riccarton. They have been helping Christchurch households since 2011. When you call about Barrington you speak to the people who will turn up with the truck. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Barrington address. We park it where it suits you on the driveway or by the garage, so loading is unhurried and entirely on your schedule.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and take it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. Keep it there for a few weeks during a renovation or for longer if you are between properties.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Barrington or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
