Unlikely you can claim on any insurance, but it may be that the cost should be a communal one as it affects the structure of the building. This will depend on the wording of your lease as regards what costs the landlord has to cover & then include in the service charge.

However, as you have gone ahead & got the work done, you may find some difficulty in getting the landlord to accept it.
