Looking to move the location of our Sky Q box ourselves - it'll mean fitting a new cable straight from the dish and drilling through the LR wall slightly further along to where cable currently comes in rather than extending the existing cable (can reduce signal as I understand). Does anyone know what the name of the cable is that we'd need though?

Typically that's twin ('shotgun') WF100 coaxial cable.
WF65 is a slimmer cable suitable for shorter runs (up to 20 metres) and goes through a smaller diameter entry hole.
You'll also need some screw-on F-plugs of the appropriate diameter to match the cable type.
The key (apart from ladder safety) is not to dislodge the dish alignment when working at that end.
