UPDATE -
After measuring voltages both by analogue and digital tracking across the main incoming bus bars and seeing as much as a 20v drop from only 4 or 5 amps of load, flagged it to the DNO who came out last week, looked at their connections, HV fuses etc and went away to arrange for an engineer to fit a quality analyser for a week so that they could look at it.
Today though, an inspection team arrived to do a pre-visit for changing the pole transformer at their cost - hurrah! I'd been under the impression that it was a 16Kva set, but they told me it was only a 5! So that explains a lot, and the calculated diversity on the installation is something like 220A due to a heat pump and private water treatment works. Anyway, they're going to fit a 25Kva at no charge (and change the 80A to 100A). Have to say, I like Western Power as my area DNO, they're really great to work with.
