Any registered electrician should be able to complete this job for you,
Personally I done mine myself,
Built an MDF panel in the attic, just a sheet with 1" inch square stair banister spindles screwed to the back;



creating a cavity between the sheet and the wall to allow cables pass through.



Is your house a standard 3 bed semi ?
If yes; there should be a plasterboard cavity where pipes from heating go up to the hotpress,

That's where I've ran three Cat7 cables from living room to attic, one for each bedroom plugged in to a LAN Switch on the panel,



Here's the plasterboard cavity box in the kitchen where pipes travel from ground floor to upstairs through hotpres, I removed skirting board and stuck my phone inside for a picture,



Drilled a hole in the hotpress floor and put some coaxial cable down to see if I could catch it inside the kitchen cavity



Also took out some plasterboard with a kitchen bread knife to allow my hand to fit in and catch the coaxial cable from the hotpress floor and pass it on down to the kitchen floor





where I taped on some cat7 cables aswell as sattelite and virgin media RG6 to feed to the attic via the hotpress.





Conduit on and shelves back in.



I've put 50x25 maxi trunking along both sides of the apex in the attic with all cables feeding to each room from the panel Tee off from conduit to under insulation then down inside partition walls all hidden,







The panel holds all network and television distribution equipment.
Just sharing ideas, I've done it all myself.

Kept the square of plasterboard which was previously cut out and used it to patch back in the hole; filled around it, sand and paint all seamless now.

Nice Post on your setup pretty neat, my outside walls of my living room are dot and dab so thats why i was thinking taking the CAT6 connection straight outside and back into the attic at roof level.

Thanks,
Doing that method would save alot of time compared to mine.
