Understand that this is generally a bad idea, but my mum could do with a new TV cable running and network connectivity in the lounge.
I have been told that running the cables outside is not an option!
The house is over 50 years old and has no cavity wall insulation, I have also been up into the loft to investigate and I can see what looks to be a piece of wood on the top of the brick walls? (marked in red below)
I have read the best way to drop cables is to:
Drill a 1" hole where you want cables to come out
Using string with weight attached, drop into cavity wall with excess string
Use something to try pull the string through the 1" hole
Anyone got any input on this? Would like to do it as cheaply as possible
