Anyone had trouble with their insurance company after telling them about
work to be done?

Probably obvious, but bear in mind that your builder would definitely be
responsible if the house falls down (or any degrees thereof) during the
works - your own insurer wouldn't want to know. A good reason for not
choosing a cowboy with no liability insurance!

Your house insurance should still kick in if his insurance fails to deliver.
The insurers have been informed of the extension build so they are aware of
a material fact. The builder has a legal obligation to have public
liability cover so it can be assumed he has the prerequisite insurance.
