I would only do it if I thought I could do it prooperly, and without loss of signal. Your right in saying that £25 is not much, but I imagine the crimper and connector will cost less than £5 in maplins, and I think I've got a multimeter around somewhere. I'll have a look and see what I can pick up, and make a decision later, but in the mean time I'm very greatful for the speedy responses. Now that I've found you all I imagine I'll be lurking around for quite some time.
Thanks again.

First it is against T&C's for you to mess around moving your equipment, ntl do log where the modem is in your house so they would be able to tell if you have moved it.
Second a multi meter will not do you need to measure the db's not volts etc.
Third the F is a mechanical joint not a threaded one, these are not up to the spec for what is required.
To sort your dilemma out the easiest way is run a cat5 cable from the modem where it is now to the new location, you can run up to 100 meter's and you are not breaking T&Cs, easy.
To buy your own tooling it would cost
£12 for the cable strippers
£48 for the compression tool
