Contractual arrangements are to a large part irrelevant to CDM. They help to define the roles but there are two steps in deciding if CDM applies. Take a look at this:- http://www.iosh.co.uk/~/...ptember%202015.pdf?la=en Therefore Step 1 will exclude some routine maintenance tasks and minor remedial works like touching up providing practical completion/handover has been reached. You only consider Step 2, the list of specific activities (a)-(e), if the project or activity falls into one of the three categories in Step 1. The list of specific activities (a)-(e) is an attempt to clarify what is a construction tasks or activity. You have not mentioned what the remedials are but these are broad definitions.

Agree entirely Ron from a statutory point of view. However if clients wish to use the term contractually they can use and name / title they want surely?

Yes, OK, but why on earth would you want to perpetuate that term and create unecessary potential for further confusion amongst appointments for that remedial work?
