Maybe get a mate to come and foot your ladder for you?

It's a georgian high ceiling house and my ladder does not go beyond 5.25m, I was thinking about the ideas suggested such as string and pulling through but just wanted to get some feedback and ideas and also any alternative products that don't need external access whatsover. Thanks for the contributions all.

I saw one of these things in B&Q a couple of weeks ago.

These are definitely available. Have used these in the past when working in blocks of flats etc. I think they are called 'high rise' kits or something along those lines. As you say, they push through the hole in the wall from the inside, then when you pull the kit back through there's a rubber seal forms around the hole. It may actually be worth checking around some plumbing wholesalers if electrical wholesalers aren't any use.

Thanks fella, just made a google search for high rise kit and low and behold the answer to my prayers.
Well, don't know about the rest of you but there's no more need to ever scale 4.75m on ladders to drill holes on my own.
