About Rute
Connecting South African homes with trusted professionals
Rute is a South African home services platform that makes it easy to book verified professionals and shop quality home products — all in one place. From Johannesburg to Pretoria, we are building the most reliable way to care for your home.
Our Mission
Making home care stress-free for every South African
Finding a reliable handyman, electrician, or cleaner in South Africa used to mean hours of phone calls, uncertain quotes, and crossed fingers. Rute changes that.
We built a platform where you can browse services, see transparent pricing, pick a time that works for you, and pay securely — all before a professional steps through your door. No guesswork, no cash handoffs, no surprises.
For workers, Rute provides a steady stream of verified bookings, fair payouts, and a platform that treats them as professionals — because that is exactly what they are.

Every worker on Rute is background-checked and verified before they can accept bookings. Your safety is our baseline, not a bonus.

We stand behind every booking. If the job does not meet your expectations, our support team is here to make it right.
Built for South Africans
Rute was built with the South African home in mind — from load-shedding repairs to moving across Joburg. We understand your needs.
