Surely he knew you were self-employed when he contracted you to do the work, it's you doing the work not him so you should have every right to advertise the fact. He could have mentioned it was an issue before you had it done. Check out where you stand by ringing the self-employed advice line? if you need the work and don't want to piss him off just hang a tarp down the side of your truck when on site with him.
