Basically yes.
You'd need to check that the electrician is happy with chasing them in. Often they're "not my job" personalities.
But probably worth getting one in to talk to them. They may well be happy for you to do the cable cutting, chasing.
Risk is they may end up uncovering things no longer to regs and then want to do a full rewire.
As a suggestion I'd think about having ethernet cable run at the same time.

(Some of these walls / pillars are also concrete..) Any advice welcome...
Didn't @Dammit have concrete & cable decisions to make?
Notwithstanding any freehold / leasehold restrictions, it's going to be a ballache.

If I want these chased into the walls, I guess I'd first get in an electrician then a plasterer?
And you'll need a shit load of money to coax the required people to do such a ball-ache of a job.
You'll be horrified at the quotes and not do it.

Also guessing my electrics are old - changed a ceiling light and have red and black cables in addition to brown and blue
Brown and blue only came in in 2006 for installed wiring, which as a fraction of the lifespan of decent PVC insulation is naff all.

Grateful for some advice, I've got no idea about this stuff - I've got a lot of exposed cables in the flat. Also guessing my electrics are old - changed a ceiling light and have red and black cables in addition to brown and blue.
