I am converting my attic. building regs sorted. There is a radial circuit for the sockets to a specific breaker in the Consumer unit and the lights are attached to the upstairs circuit. I need to move the existing sockets and lights / switches as the layout is changing. I may need to replace some wiring because of the moving, Am I allowed to do this work or do I need to get an electrician. As I understand it I can add new sockets and lights and I can replace a damaged cable under the new regs.

There is no limit to what you can do, only what you can to without building regs notification
You are allowed to add and move sockets and lights on existing circuits without notification though as long as its not a kitchen bathroom or outside
But if you are working under a building notice already, as long as your BCO has a sensible attitude to part p, then there should be noting stopping you re-wireing the house if you wish!
