@declan90 I tried that after the phone call and they didn't reply.

LV do actually specify in their T+Cs that ASHPs are covered as part of the building, so that it likely who we are going with. A bit more expensive (£80) but policy expert not worth the aggro for us.

Yes! It turns it is. Tesco insurance.

They only issue was a (gentle) slap on the wrist for not telling them about the work when the installers were here. Also I may have under valued it because I was not prepped up for them to give me 'of course', as an answer.

Lemonade also responded to my query about ASHPs and said yes and it is covered for storm damage if the wind is 55mph or above. (This was my super cheap plan B if Tesco said no).  

To be clear, this is Buildings insurance. I never get cover for Home Emergency - for the ASHP I'd call Octopus or whoever I was covered with - for the rest I don't think it is worth the money.

Having an ASHP installed and already got solar & battery storage. 

Struggling to find a Home building insurer who will accept these upgrades and provide insurance cover. Any suggestions ?

@kevinpotts as above. We've gone for LV who specify inclusion of ASHPs in their buildings cover.
