What to use for these joints

[RobTi]

I asked this before but have had a lot on my mind and let it slip but now have to finish this. So dropped a new 3&e to light switch and I am lowering the ceiling and the attic above is floored so no access, what do you recommend to fix these joints , the cable on the right is the 3&e to the switch I was going to fit a 4way jb but want to do it right as far as I can ?
Thanks

I think we answered in the thread at the time.
You want a maintained free junction box with enough terminals

Thanks I did try to search but must have missed it

Hager Ashley J804

Or one of Hager J501 if it will still have access via the light fitting.

Maintenance free junction boxes will comply and do the job.

Soldering seems very much en vogue on the forum at present, but personally I don't recommend DIYers doing solder joints that can't be accessed - I think there's too much a DIYer could get wrong.

Sorry no access to these joints

Thanks everyone I will pick up a J804 tomorrow

I think that the 'access' chivers was talking about was that which can often/normally be achieved through the hole in the ceiling in which the light fitting normally sits. In other words, if, having pulled the light fitting down you can get at the JB, then many/most would call that 'accessible'.

Thanks but no play in the cables, so the only way I see it is fit a J804 at the original ceiling with these wires, or extend the wires to the new dropped ceiling so I could pull through a light fitting hole for access

Fair enough.
