  • Cat5 cabling... (probably Cat7 these days)

    floors are up and skirting being redone anyway, so I guess it's just a case of some plastic conduit under the floor, then run the cable and terminate... any particular considerations?

  • Go for solid-core cat6. It's more than enough for gigabit ethernet and much cheaper and easier to work with than cat6a/cat7 - last I heard (although I left the industry 18 months ago), cat7 wasn't formulated as a standard and most manufacturers were having problems even passing cat6a testing.
    Try not to exceed 90m in one run (unlikely in a house anyway) and get a cheap tester so you're not tearing your hair out trying to figure out why it's not working!
