Hi. another new guy here. I have just finished first fix on an old cottage. this included meter position change. Having been assured by Western power that they would not be supplying an earth i duly installed 10mm earth for TT installation to go along with my 25mm tails. On connecting up western power have now told me that this can be Tn-c-s. Am I stuck with having to put a rod down in terrible soil because of my earth CSA. P.S In my absence they have already connected the 10mm earth to their neutral. Any advice appreciated. PPS I indend to let the NIC look at this job for my first assessment.

Dont see this as a problem. You will need to swap out the 10 for 16mm though.

Then just carry on as PME system and whip out the rod.
