UK Can anyone identify this DNO head?

Hi all,

We've just moved into a new house which was built circa 1950's, do we need to contact Western Power about the incoming main?

UPDATE

Our electrician has filled out the EV installation form and today I got an email from Western Power saying they need to make an appointment to upgrade fuse from 60 to 80amp.

I rang the lady (who was extremely helpful) and emailed the photo above and she thinks more than likely it will require a new cut-out. She's arranged a site visit for the 30th March and provisional new cut-out for the 14th April.

Now in peoples experience do you think any digging up of my drive will need to take place for a new cut-out? We are due to have a new tarmac drive laid on the 26th!!

It's 50/50 that a new cable will be needed as they may refuse to fit the new service head that low to floor.

Can you ask them where that MET came from as I'd like a few!
