Choosing the right insurance can be difficult. With so many options available, knowing which policy offers the protection you need isn’t always straightforward. That’s why independent ratings matter.
We’re proud to announce that Tradesman Saver’s specialist construction insurance, underwritten by Covéa Insurance, has been awarded a Defaqto 5 Star Rating, the highest rating available and one of the most widely recognised marks of quality within the UK insurance industry.
What is a Defaqto 5 Star Rating?
Defaqto is one of the UK’s most trusted independent sources of financial and insurance product information. Its experts analyse thousands of products every year, scoring them on features, benefits and overall quality to help consumers make informed decisions.
A 5 Star Rating is only awarded to products that deliver one of the strongest offerings in their category, giving customers additional confidence that they’re choosing cover that stands out in the market.
Recognising Comprehensive Cover
For tradespeople, having the right protection in place is essential. It’s easy to compare insurance on price and assume every policy offers roughly the same cover. . In reality, the level of cover can vary hugely, and the gaps often only become obvious when you need to make a claim.
Receiving a 5 Star Rating is significant because it reflects more than just the price of a policy. Defaqto’s assessment considers the quality of cover available, helping identify products that offer a broad range of features and benefits designed to support customers when they need them most.
This recognition confirms that Tradesman Saver provides high-quality insurance designed specifically for the needs of people working across the construction and trades sectors.
Built Around the Needs of Modern Tradespeople
Since launching, Tradesman Saver has focused on making insurance simpler and more accessible for busy professionals.
As one of the first providers to offer a fully digital insurance journey for tradespeople, customers can quote, buy and renew their cover online at a time that suits them. The aim has always been to remove unnecessary complexity and give customers a straightforward way to arrange the protection they need.
Today, that same customer-first approach continues to drive our development, combining market-leading cover with a hassle-free online experience.
Growing to Support More Businesses
While Tradesman Saver has long been trusted by construction professionals across the UK, recent years have seen the brand expand to support an even wider range of businesses through specialist offerings including:
- Electrician Saver
- Carpenter Saver
- Cleaner Saver
- Professional Saver
This growth reflects our ongoing commitment to providing tailored insurance solutions for different professions while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Dean Laming, Managing Director of Tradesman Saver, said:
“Receiving Defaqto’s highest 5 Star Rating at the first time of assessment is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work that has gone into developing our proposition. Most importantly, it gives our customers added confidence that they’re choosing a product built around their needs and backed by excellent levels of cover.”
Looking Ahead
As part of the Jensten Group, Tradesman Saver continues to invest in its products, digital experience and customer proposition to help more tradespeople access quality insurance quickly and easily.
This latest recognition from Defaqto represents an important milestone in that journey and reinforces our commitment to delivering insurance solutions that provide both confidence and peace of mind for customers across the UK.
