    My aunt had some work done and informed her insurers - I think that they charged her a bit extra while this was going on.


    Because of this, I thought I had better do so when we had some serious building work going on - I phoned them and they were less than interested! Seems to depend on the insurer.

    I'm going to check the wording on my documents and report back. I think the issue is were the bar is set though I can't imagine they want a deluge of calls from householders informing them about every bit of work.

    Hi
    We had some significant building work done last year & yes I informed them.
    They put in place a number of indemnities & removed accidental damage.
