Right, I need to drop some networking and coaxial cables down

Drilling a hole in the ceiling wall plate is easy from the loft
side to pass said cables through.

half way down the wall is a noggin.

I wish to mount the wall socket lower down than this noggin and
run the cables to the wall socket.

I dont really want to cut a hole in the PB to access said noggin
to drill a through hole.

Is there such a thing as a 1.5m m long drill bit extender I can
place between my wood boring bit and the electric drill?
Kind of - you can get extensions for spade bits that are typically
around 300mm long. Nothing to stop you using several!

(or for that matter use one, and weld it onto the end of a bit or
rebar or threaded rod etc)


If your outlet is going just below the noggin it might be easier to
cut an opening in the PB to take a dry wall back box and use a spade
bit with one or two extension bars on at quite an acute angle and
drill upwards from the opening.

Yup good point - no reason the hole needs to be exactly perpendicular.
