Can I suggest before proceeding with junction boxes that you turn the power of and investigate whether the cores are damaged. I think I see a shadow of black and red on the left cable but as has already been mentioned it doesn't look as if the damage is much more than superficial from this distance.

I think there's probably a bit of a flaw in that idea - since the only way to get heatshrink on would be to cut the cables, in which case one would need at least one (probably two) JBs to restore each of the cables!
I assumed from this
that the cables could be disconnected from the socket, sleeving slipped over and re-terminated.
Do I take it that you would be able to run new cables all the way down to the socket from the ceiling void?
Possibly. I was thinking that at least some of the cable between damage and sockets might well be 'buried'.
Yes possibly, I was hooked on
and made the assumption...
