Also guys, am i going to have issues with a hdmi and a usb module from living room to the garage? Its about 5m but that's straight to it not consideting going up the wall and back down into the garage, rough guess is it'll be around 8/9m?

There are loads of different brands, some are more flexible than others (something this is a good thing, sometimes you want them rigid).
If I was cabling all day every day, I'd buy something like a SuperRod set.

Thanks thenewoc, im happy to adjust sockets, cameras to internal walls if its going to make my life easier!! Reason i put the cameras where they were was purely so line of site wasnt blocked by an internal door if opened, the only sockets i couldn't "rejig" is the livingroom ones just because of how the room is laid out, it could go either side of the fire place but it would be the same wall.. The front external camera, there is a porch which is roofed and covers the front door and goes directly to the garage which should be the easiest to route.. You've got me reconsidering where to use as "zero" point, its just that office may need to be a kids room in the future whereas i know the garage will always be the garage and the wife as already claimed the understairs cupboard storage in the kitchen... Lol!! I definitely need to rethink the layout a little...maybe... Good point about stranded for cameras and shielded, would it be eaiser to have poe switch in loft for cameras (extra security in a sense) and data switch in garage for media server/data transfer/gaming etc? As i already have a 12 port poe switch and 24 port non-poe switch, was planning on selling both n getting 24 port poe switch but might be easier having it seperated? i just feel twitchy putting kit in loft as its not the best condiion for dust etc!
all great common sense suggestions, I guess its all about trying to work out the easiest route through the house.
I cant think of a route that will get me from downstairs to the loft. The other problem is I have carpet in every room on top of floorboards so its definitely going to involve lifting those to some degree.
At this point im seriously thinking of going outside, round the back of the house , which will follow the sky cables pretty much all the way, and then in to the room I need to connections.
so any thoughts on cable type for outside? I see something like this is available on amazon:
