Network cable install

I am rubbish at DIY, well lazy really. I would like ethernet ran around my house and to garage. Which trade or who do I call for this type of work. It needs to be done as descretely as possible to please the wife.

Have you considered a decent mesh wifi system? I have a reasonably sized house and it works for me, and I stream a lot of HD and 4K video content all around the house. I really can't see a situation where I'd need a wired network anymore, and as I've been ripping out old phone cables/sockets and TV coax around each room as I've decorated I think to myself if I had ever installed wired networking I'd likely be doing the same to that in 5-10 years.

Ooh sounds good any good suggestions?

I can run cables around the outside of my property for the downstairs and up the internal cupboard into loft, then onwards to bedrooms.

Twin cables for redundancy, then switched as required, is there anything to take into consideration if running outside? What would costs Vs mesh network?
