They will certainly allow you to extend the WiFi downstairs. However.
You mention you are using Powerline adapters for the Sky box. Where is this Sky box? If it is where you want to extend the WiFi to then that isn't a problem as you just remove the existing adapters and use the new ones.
But if the Sky box is elsewhere that may cause a problem. You cannot use two different set of HomePlugs/Powerline adapters on the same mains circuits. You can though often use one "master" plug next to the router and several "slave" remote units that talk back to the "master".
The problem is all the units must be compatible with each other (not necessarily the same make however). There is a real chance the BT WiFi plugs you've linked to are not compatible with your existing Powerline adapters. That need not be an insurmountable problem as you could buy an additional single adapter that is compatible with the BT WiFi plugs and use that for the Sky box.
But as I said if the Sky box is where you would be using the WiFi equipped plug anyway there is no problem. Just do a straight swap old for new.
