Hello,
I needed to extend the power cable inside an existing plug casing. I was creating a partition over an existing wall and the cable wasn't long enough to get to the new socket location.
(a) should a qualified electrician do this and
(b) was this the right junction box to use? Ive started reading that it should have been 30amp rather than the 24am stated on this product:

Picture can be seen HERE
Sorry, to add it feed two double wall sockets. First with the separate brown and blue, second with the grey cable (little bit further down the wall). The two cables on the right are the extended earth (Ive just twisted those onto the old shorted earths.
