Default Chasing computer wiring (Cat-5) into plaster over brick wall

Give this serious consideration.
Unless you have a really bandwidth-intensive application between two PCs
which are in different rooms you don't need cable.

My setup is totally wireless at the moment until I get the office back
together and the wired LAN back in place.

Dave, I'm looking into this at the moment (currently got a hard-wired set-up
in one room) and am moving to another property, which currently has 2 cable
connections (1 in livingroom and one in diningroom/sittingroom). I want to
have my PC's upstairs but use the connection in the diningroom. Ideally I'd
like to plug the cable modem into the transmitter and have only that
downstairs (with the PC we use as a router on the other end of it), but
could also go with having the router PC downstairs in the dining room
plugged into the cable modem and then into the wi-fi.

What wireless network are you using, can you advise on how much it might
cost for connections for 3 PC's? Should this be useable upstairs?

Cheers!
