Our Story
Proud to Serve the Scottish Borders
Borders Hydro Clean is a family run drainage and hard surface cleaning business based in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Established in August 2012 and becoming a Limited Company in 2013, the business was founded by Rex and Jane on a simple belief — that people deserve a fast, honest service from someone they can trust. Today, the team of five family members — Rex Senior, Rex Junior, John, Zara, and Jane — work together to deliver reliable, professional drainage solutions and hard surface cleaning 24/7.
We cover domestic and commercial customers across the Scottish Borders and surrounding areas, offering everything from emergency drain unblocking — internal and external — to CCTV surveys, drainage repairs and hard surface cleaning. Whether it's a blocked toilet at midnight or a full commercial drainage survey, we treat every job the same — with care, professionalism and no nasty surprises on the bill.
When you call us, you get us. Not a call centre, not a subcontractor — Rex or one of the team will be with you as fast as possible, any time of day or night.
Available 24/7 — including nights, weekends & bank holidays
External drains — gulleys, downpipes & main sewers
CCTV drainage survey — pinpoint problems fast
High pressure jetting for stubborn blockages
Professional hard surface cleaning — drives, patios & yards

Emergency Response
"Phoned these guys and they were out within 24 hours. They were super fast, professional and friendly. Sorted all the drainage and even charged me less than they had originally quoted. Fantastic service."
— Ellie Lowrie, via Facebook
"We had an emergency blocked toilet on a Friday evening. The phone was answered straight away. They suggested they wouldn't charge the full price as there was no obvious blockage. That level of customer service is rare and wonderful."
— Graeme Mitchell, via Facebook
"What a fantastic duo. They managed to efficiently and thoughtfully clear the blockage — which involved locating the drains under tarmac — and left everything clean and sanitized. I can't recommend Borders Hydro Clean highly enough."
— Biddy Househam, via Facebook
