Do I need to notify insurer....

....if we're in the process of doing ongoing house maintenance?

Fully insured Builder has replaced roof tiles & dealt with repointing ridge tiles, done some repointing (including chimney and checking it's state of repair), also took off blown render and re-rendered.

All done but just wondered if I need to let them know as I can't see anything in the T&Cs or their website other than suggestions for Spring jobs?

Thanks
LM :)

    You have to report anything your policy says you have to report so if your policy doesn’t mention it then the answer is no

    Most household policies stipulate that you must keep it in a reasonable state of repair. It therefore follows that the insurer must expect you to do some maintenance (or have it done for you) from time to time.
