NO EARTH FOUND ... can I change my system to pme myself?

Think the builder ripped the earth rod out... Whatever happened there's not an earth now. Instead of installing a new one am I allowed to take the neutral from the metre and connect a main earthing conductor in a henley block.
The street does have pme available, I checked. Is it legal though???

Was the original earthing scheme TT? I would reinstall a nice new rod and if you have problems getting a decent Ra value then look at converting to TNCS. I'd assume you'd need to contact the DNO or energy resaler with regard to PME'ing the installation.
