I need to run some cables around our Victorian (well, Edwardian, just) terrace. Ethernet to various places around the house for ethernet wall sockets/wi-fi access points
Not directly related to your question but if you are doing this I'd suggest doubling up the wires. Ethernet is useful for distributing audio and video too but it needs to be separate from your general network. I've got network cables going to each room but it would be useful to have two in some cases.
Also useful to have it in random places like under the stairs.

Right. I'm going to be filling this thread with dumb questions about my new house, so apologies in advance. Here's the first one:
I need to run some cables around our Victorian (well, Edwardian, just) terrace. Ethernet to various places around the house for ethernet wall sockets/wi-fi access points, there's also no doorbell transformer/power to the front door but I want a Nest doorbell and our thermostat is shit and battery powered, and I want a Nest.
The whole place was redone a few years back except for the kitchen/bathroom at the back, so the walls are all straight and perfect. Better to run them beneath the floors then? The whole place is covered in el cheapo oak flooring which we hate, so I'm happy to wreck some of it, and this seems like the easier option than chasing into the walls then having to make that good?
We're going to need to move/change some radiators too, because while well executed they are all wrong - e.g. pointlessly massive long radiator in hall, radiator in stupid place in loft bedroom etc. - so some floor is going to have to come up anyway for that.
