My only advice is use CAT5e (shielded) for your CAT5. Where you think you will need 2 cables run at least 3. 
 
<<CAT5e is not shielded.>> 
 
It is if you use STP cable rather than yhe UTP kind
 
What is the easiest way to cut out for the back> boxes ? are there tools to make life easier and can> they be hired ?The easiest way to cut back boxes is using a back box cutter (ELECTRICAL BOX SINKER ) from screwfix (www.screwfix.com/) but it will cost you £85.00 icl VAT and you will need to beg, borrow or hire and SDS drill with roto-stop..but let me asure you after cutting 30 or 40 back boxes by hand (taking upto 20 mins each) you will wish you had purchased on of these, they do make life easy!! http://www.screwfix.com/PICTURES/6114.jpg
