You could report the bindweed to environmental health, they'll maybe help get rid of it. We have a friend, trying to sell his house, who's buyer has been refused a mortgage because of the bindweed in the open ground at the end of his garden! He's reported to environmental health and they're coming out next week. They're going to have a field day as there are quite a few areas affected with it.
PLP - are you sure it was bindweed? The only plant that I know of that would affect insurance is Japanese knot weed.Convolulus is not a serious threat to foundations whereas knotweed can be!
