Halswell has grown fast over the last decade, and a lot of that growth has happened around new builds and subdivisions. Storage2u is built for exactly that situation. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Halswell address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton until your new place is ready.
Most Halswell storage requests we handle involve a new build, a settlement gap between selling and buying, a family move within the south-west, or a renovation on an older Halswell home. The mobile model fits all of it because there is no truck hire, no trips to a storage facility, and no pressure to clear the unit on a fixed date.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for household and business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch winters can drive into a steel container. For Halswell furniture sitting in storage during a new-build delay, that protection is the difference between belongings that come out clean and belongings that do not.
Storage2u is run by Sue and Paul, a husband-and-wife team based at their Upper Riccarton depot. They have been helping Christchurch households since 2011. There are no call centres or third-party drivers. When you ring about Halswell, you speak to the people who turn up with the truck, and 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 Halswell address. We position the unit on the driveway or alongside the garage so loading is easy and on your own timeline.
Step 2
When you are ready, we collect the loaded unit and transport it to our 24/7 security-monitored, indoor depot in Upper Riccarton. Store it for the length of the build, the gap between properties, or as long as you need.
Step 3
When the new place is ready or your plans firm up, just call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Halswell or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
