That means my cable modem would have to stay where it is, I would like to put the modem in the loft rather than leave it where it is.
What kind of cable do NTL use and what kind of fittings would I need, could I join the coax with a connector and send it to a wall mount with no signal problems?

I would think using a connector to extend the existing cable is going to lose you signal strength. The proper way would be to call NTL and ask about having it moved but that may well cost you. How much cable is there between the SACM and the box outside on your house wall?
