As a general rule, do the electricity suppliers worry if one improves the state of the earth connection to the cable sheath on a TN-S supply?
I was looking at someone's install the other day where all the earthing and bonding in the house had obviously been brought up to standard at some time in the relatively recent past, but the final connection from the main earthing block to the cable head end was the original rather feeble bit of bare steel stranded conductor that was probably no more than 2mm^2 csa. It kind of made a nonsense of the nice new 16mm^2 running from the block to the CU etc.
