Due to these personnel changes, the original Telewest, now Virgin,
cable TV and broadband equipment has been shunted from one room to
another. At this stage, cable TV not working and single PC cannot
access Internet via LAN cable to Surfboard 5101 modem.

If it has been shunted from one room to another, shunt it around again
until you find the room in which it (TV for starters) works.

YES.

Advice here, I have 3 rooms cabled by VM but the 'splitter' in the cable entry
box only has 2 outlets (cheapskates - also may be to do with avoiding
unterminated cable reflections that could degrade the signal ) so only any 2
outlets of the 3 can work at the same time.

The cable box in this situation has only one outlet, which may reduce
complications.
