I would go back immediately and disconnect your made up tnc-s system. Revert it to a TT system with a newly fitted earth spike and cover the installation with a 61008 device as you cannot just go around making up combined neutral and earth systems.

if it wass tt and you were getting an eath path through the water,strucural steel ect you would get 230v try it agian one all main bonding has been disconnected i would be suprise if there was an eath.
Call supply authority see what system they have installed if they say tn-c-s thenits ther responsibility to provide an suitable earth terminal.
 
I would not convert to a TNCS. It sounds like it is a TT with the earth spike just not visible. If anything convert to a TT. As said before due to the construction of TNCS (PME) the dno is the one who does the change, it is (should no be) a simple connection in the domestic premisis.

A quick check of the incomming cable in the fuse block will tell you if it is TT or TNS or TNCS. TT generally will not have 'armour' and will have 2 cores, TNS will have steel armour or lead sheath and 2 cores, TNCS will have a single core with the 'armour' being half copper and half steel.
