Hi Graeme
If what you require is merely an upgraded mains fuse taking it to100amp then UK Power Network will do it for free. They upgraded mine for when I had a Zero Emission Boiler fitted.
The one proviso is that you will need to ensure your fuse box has the correct size tails for the 100amp fuse. Go to their website and you will find all the details you require.

You would also need to make sure that your main fuse is 100A (some aren’t) but when I was looking at installing solar PV and battery storage, my installer organised my fuse and breaker to be upgraded. Do you have a smart meter?

It's actually £158.25 but close enough to £160 that rounding is reasonable :)

If you don't mind switching suppliers...
Octopus Energy have been fitting isolation switches for free, but worth checking this is still the case.
There are some Octopus customers on this forum who may be willing to share their referral code so you both get £50
