If you live or run a business in Hornby and need storage, the standard option means hiring a van and driving across to a storage park. Storage2u offers a faster, more practical way. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Hornby address, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton.
Hornby is a south-west Christchurch hub with a strong commercial strip along Main South Road, plenty of retail at the Hub mall, and a steady residential community in the streets behind. The storage requests we handle here are split fairly evenly between residential moves and small-business overflow, with the occasional vehicle-related project storage as well. The mobile model fits both because the truck comes to you.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for residential and business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that Christchurch winters drive into a metal container. For Hornby business stock or family furniture sitting in storage for months, that ventilation matters.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their Upper Riccarton depot, just up Russley Road from Hornby. They have been doing this since 2011. There are no call centres or third-party drivers. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse once your unit reaches the depot.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Hornby address. For residential, we park on the driveway. For business, we can position the unit at the rear of the premises if there is yard access.
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 a few weeks during a move or longer for ongoing business overflow.
Step 3
When you want your belongings or stock back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Hornby or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.
