I'd love some advice on chasing a second conduit to a TV socket...
I've recently moved into a flat where the TV socket is totally in the wrong place - I'd like to move the socket to the other wall but extending it with an f-connector and another piece of cable. I'm wiring up the place for ethernet using rebate skirting board and I thought it would be simple to route the cable to the other wall using the skirting board as well, so I'd like to chase the cable down from the socket to the bottom of the wall for maximum no cables.
However, there's another cable in there (likely for another flat below) that's already chased downwards (in a galvanised conduit).
Can anyone advise if it's sensible/safe/normal/stupid to chase another channel from the other side of the the back box to get my cable down to my floor? I know TV cable is low voltage so I'm not worried about shocks, just whether it's feasible.

Thanks!
