Installation query - connection to bedroom

So I've recently decided to take an upgrade to TV for the first time which came with a free self install TiVo. That's all up and running at the main point in the house next to the Hub.

I was offered what I thought was quite a good deal for the package, but it didn't include a V6 box - so I rung up and took a paid upgrade to it. Not sure why, but it needs an installer visit and can't be self installed. So as I've got an installer coming (In Feb, couldn't get any earlier slots... yet) I thought I might broach the subject of moving the TV into the bedroom - however I only want to do it if it would be fairly easy for the Engineer.

My house is fairly new, and was prewired with cable. The entry point for the cable is at the front door - only accessible from the outside. From there, the internal cabling goes to the master bedroom into a blanked off backbox. Inside there, it's connected straight to another cable, which then goes to the living room and is the main VM branded point with the isolator.

My question is: would it just be a case for the engineer to go into that backbox, add a splitter between the two cables, one output being to the living room and the other to a new isolator which will be part of a new VM branded outlet at that location? If so, is that a fairly straight forward job for an engineer especially if I make sure everything is clear and the kettle is hot?
