Right, I need to drop some networking and coaxial cables down from the
loft into a bedroom.
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?
being able to do this would be a time and a making good time saver!

It's difficult to do this, and you risk damaging the plaster worse than
cutting it. I always used to cut a slot in the plaster. It needn't be
very big and with a bit of skill you can disappear it with polyfilla and
sandpaper. Have you considered dropping the cable somewhere where a cut
in the plaster wouldn't matter, then running it horizontally?
