You could try maplin.co.uk if there is one near you as they do
a cat5 cabling kit that includes crimpers and a long length of cat5
for under 50quid - they do all the components separately too if needs be.

This summer, when the wife is on holiday, I intend to take down the
manky lath & plaster walls and ceiling in the main bedroom and put up
plasterboard. This will enable me to run some extra cables for sockets
and a
telephone extension in the kids room so they can connect their computer
in
the void.
It would be handy to run a network cable from the box room (my
office)
to the kids room to exchange data in the void, rather than trail a data
cable along the landing. Can I get a diy installation of sockets and
cabling
anywhere?

You can get this sort of stuff from B&Q, and you'll probably find it
quite cheap. What's the distance? 54G wireless doesn't give any
noticeble slow-down for Internet stuff.
