2.5mm twin and earth cable connectors

I need to extend my wall socket cable and the wires are being buried in the brickwork. What's the best connectors to use and ideally the smallest so there easy to bury?

Thanks

    They will need to be maintenance free and in a box so something like Wago.

    Even maintenance free ones shouldn't really be plastered in...and they definitely aren't small! I would pull a new wire from the previous socket or the consumer unit.

    as said,you don't bury connection points

    in the loft, under the floors, then fine, but not burried in a wall with no access
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
