If you live in Ladbrooks, the nearest traditional storage parks are a long drive into Christchurch and the truck-hire option burns most of a Saturday. Storage2u offers a simpler way. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Ladbrooks property, you load it on your own schedule, and we move it to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton until you need it back.
Ladbrooks sits in the semi-rural fringe of Selwyn between Tai Tapu and Lincoln, a mix of lifestyle blocks, small farms, and country sections. Storage requests we handle from this area tend to involve property renovations, business overflow from rural-trade operators, and clearouts when a block changes hands. The mobile model fits because the unit comes to you on a truck used to country driveways.
Our portable storage units are purpose-built for household and small-business use, not repurposed shipping containers. The timber-lined interiors regulate temperature and prevent the condensation and mould that a damp Selwyn winter drives into bare steel. For Ladbrooks furniture or business stock stored across the colder months, ventilation is genuinely important.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their Upper Riccarton depot. They have been serving Selwyn and Christchurch since 2011. There are no third-party drivers and no call centres. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse, which keeps your unit secure throughout its time with us.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Ladbrooks address. We position the unit on the driveway, in front of the shed, or wherever access is easiest, so loading is straightforward and on your 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 a few weeks during a renovation or for longer if the project takes time.
Step 3
When you want your belongings back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Ladbrooks or wider Canterbury address so you can unpack in your own time.
