Is there a large round distribution box with a number of cables coming out of it?

Good point about the lighting circuit Paul. Most new builds have a permanent live feeding into the loft which goes down to all switches; there will be a neutral and earth available at every ceiling light position so you should be able to tap into the lighting circuit. Just wire a fused spur into this, fused at probably only 1 amp needed for a TV distribution amp. You can get a distribution amp from Maplin or Amazon for about £10
