Question: In a TN-C-S system, where I have installed a three-core SWA supply to an outhouse approximately 20m down the back garden - in this system, does it mean that I cannot use the distributor's earthing facility?

I would appreciate if you could let me know what options I have.

Answer: Yes - you can use this TN-C-S system to provide an earth connection for the armour and equipment in the garden shed.
