You are correct, the incoming equipment is the owned and is the responsibility of the DNO but as I said the earthing is not their responsibility and has not been for some time, it is now being pushed as the responsibility of the consumer. Unless there is a real and present danger, they will not consider it a priority to attend site to look at ‘no earth’. You will find that they are doing the same for lateral mains which they are now pushing to the free holders.
The earthing isn't the actual issue for contacting the authority. It's the age and suitability of the incoming equipment. Upgrade of any earthing facility, if occurring, is a bonus.
A talk on site is the way to explore possibilities.
 
I don’t think it was, as far as I can remember all the old regs books I’ve got don’t allow the use of pipes carrying flammable fluids.

Well being sad, I have some books dating back to 1900 which say it was acceptable. Would that be 3rd edtion? either way, I've come across quite alot here in yorkshire. some being post war buildings.
 
From my experience .
Old supply. ( rewirable fuse. not cartridge.)
Needs new cut out.
Earth has not been sweated onto incomer. ( probably )
I usually get customer to complain about incomer and supply company usually fit a new one.
You could try scrapping insulation ( sticky bit ) until you see lead.
Then get ya tester on that.
