Cables split in error!

[lights]

Channelling out the wall for a new cable in the kitchen I hit and damaged the existing, have made a temporary repair but can anyone suggest a solution rather that fitting a juction box or running a replacement cable.
I am hoping that there is a connector I could use that would be hidden within the conduit?

Thank you

You could crimp joint the cable otherwise a new run will be necessary.

A good quality ratchet crimper is required for a good electrical connection and the correct crimps are needed for the cable size you are joining.

Red 1.0mm-1.5mm².
Blue 2.5mm²
Yellow 4.0mm-6.0mm².

Remember that the earth conductor is smaller that the phase and neutral. I.e you'd use a blue crimp for the phase and neutral conductors of 2.5mm² t&e but you'd use a red crimp for the earth conductor.

dont forget to heat shrink the crimp joint as well!
