Default TN-S to PME

Hi,

I am currently renovating my first house (not living it it while I do it)

One of the jobs is rewiring, as there is a lot of old aluminum cables, spurs
from spurs, spurs from the 32A ring made in 1.5mm T&E, chock block buried in
plaster, "interesting" cable routes, and an FCU in the bathroom, directly
over the bath (well, where the bath was before I removed it anyway!) easily
reachable when standing in the bath, and I am sure much more I have yet to
find...

The service head on the main cable is very old (1930's) a call to the DNO
has confirmed this should be changed, and they will also change me to a PME
supply, with a 100A fuse (Rather than the 60A one I have now).

I have removed to old fuse box and am now left with a Henley block after the
meter, connected to a 20A switch-fuse with 10mm tails.
This used to supply the garage, I have removed this connection (aluminum)
and connected a double socket to it, so I have some power.

When they come to change the service head, and change me to PME, will they
be happy with this temporary connection (Particularly the 10mm tails) or do
I need to up rate them to 25mm (Which means I will need to go out and buy a
new switch-fuse, as this one has small input terminals!)

Thanks!

Toby...
