I am planning to move a double socket in our utility room, and to do so i will plan on extending the two 2.5mm twin & earth cables that run to it (it's on a ring main and the existing cables are buried in the wall). I plan on crimping extra lengths of 2.5mm twin & earth onto the ends of the existing cables. I've decided on crimping rather than junction boxes because the regs state that inaccessible buried joins (which this will be once plastered over) should be soldered or joined "mechanically". What i want to check is if this is the correct connector to use:
