Networking socket

Good afternoon all - hoping to get some support/clarity on a recent self-service delivery.

I opted for the self-service due to the fact that Virgin Media is already set-up/functioning within this area ahead of moving into the property, however found once moved in that there is 3 wires into the house.

1 - An openreach master 5c socket 

2 - A Sky shotgun cable 

3 - What looks like a standard coxial port

I have spoke to the landlord around having virgin media installed, and he is happy for sockets to be built internally, however due to the house recently undergoing a new render, does not want any holes drilled externally. Given that there is already multiple cables running into the home (BT/SKY) 1 - is it possible to have an engineer pull out the existing cables from the open reach connection, and replace with virgin media fittings? and/or 2 - withdraw the sky cabling and apply a fresh socket around the entrance point of those cables? And or finally 3 - use the pre-existing copper coaxial port for virgin?

 

Any support on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
