- ethernet crimpers
Can you advise me first of all if this is doable and secondly if I've overlooked anything that I might need to buy?

Yes! You've not mentioned the keystone jack punchdown block so you'll need
this and
this.
Don't skimp of a cheap pair of crimpers either. I purchased some from Maplins (Rolson make) and they would never crimp one of the wires correctly - I swaped them for another set, and they are just about ok.
PS - Screwfix are excellent for buying small bits like this - Maplin / RS charge a fortune and sometimes you have to buy bulk. BTW - I'm just a Screfix customer - not linked in anyway!
