[1] This is a good time to consider earthing arrangements, and check what
will be offered. If the service cable has to be replaced you'll almost
certainly be offered PME

Not necessarily - under the supply regs they`re not obliged to provide an
earth, and cutouts are usually replaced "like for like" without altering
existing earthing arrangements.

In our area, providing an earth is now a chargeable job.
