No one should ever need to cut into your walls. A good tech will run down from attic or up from crawl space. The most you should ever have is a new plate where a box may be placed. If someone is cutting frivolously into your walls they should be fired. Hopefully they had contractors insurance too. Probably not if they were that incompetent.
Yep. With the solid walls I have, if you’re not chasing into the plaster/brick, you’re putting trunking on the outside (which looks pretty awful, imho).

That’s a bit of a blanket statement. It depends on the house and where you want the cable to go.
