If you live or run a business in Sydenham and need storage, the traditional storage-park option means driving a hired van across town and back. Storage2u offers a much faster way. We deliver a clean, purpose-built mobile unit to your Sydenham address, you load it on your own schedule, and we transport it to our 24/7 monitored depot in Upper Riccarton.
Sydenham mixes inner-city residential streets, small business strips along Colombo and Brougham, and a growing hospitality scene. The storage we handle here tends to be small-shop overflow stock, residential moves between flats and townhouses, and the occasional warehouse-style declutter for a business changing premises. The mobile model fits because there are no trips to a storage facility on the edge of town.
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 can drive into a metal container. For Sydenham retail stock or restaurant equipment sitting in storage for a few months, ventilation is essential.
Storage2u is family-run by Sue and Paul from their Upper Riccarton depot, a short drive west of Sydenham. They have been doing this since 2011. There are no third-party drivers and no call centres. Paul is the only person who enters the storage warehouse, which suits Sydenham businesses storing inventory or fittings.
How It Works
Step 1
We deliver your Storage2u portable unit and packing supplies to your Sydenham address. For shop or business loads, we can position the unit at the rear of the premises if there is yard access. For residential, we park on the driveway or the kerb if that works for the street.
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 fit-out or for longer if you are between properties.
Step 3
When you want your belongings or stock back, give us a call. We deliver the unit to your nominated Sydenham or wider Christchurch address so you can unpack in your own time.

Yes, in most cases. Send us a photo of the access when you book or describe the kerb width and we will plan the delivery. Where space is genuinely tight, we may suggest a short kerbside loading window.
Yes. Several Sydenham retailers store seasonal stock with us. We pick up from your premises, store the unit at our indoor depot, and bring part or all of the load back when you need it. It is a lot cheaper than renting a second shop.
Yes. Restaurant equipment and fit-out furniture can sit in our depot during a refit. The timber-lined interior is gentle on timber tables and chairs. Book the unit before the fit-out starts and we will deliver it back when you are ready to reopen.
As long as you need. There are no lock-in contracts and no penalty for extending. Many small businesses book ongoing month-by-month for seasonal stock.
Sydenham parking varies by street. Tell us the address when you book and we will let you know whether the unit can stay long enough for a loading window or whether we need to come back.
Yes. The unit is locked once you are finished loading, and a padlock can be added on top – we will let you know the right lock size.
Yes. Boxes, bubble wrap, and tape can come with the unit if you ask when booking.
