Extending sockets from a solid wall to a partition wall?

[festa]

Hi guys....question.....
Im having a wall in my kitchen moved in by 2 inches (it was a solid wall and is freezing cold and a company is putting up a metal frame and installing a thermal insulation under plaster boards) the cable to two of the sockets are to short and i need to extend them.
What are my choices of doing this?
Many thanks.

1) Replace the whole cable from the last connection
2) Crimp and cover joint in heat-shrink sleeving.
3) Install a junction box/terminal block as long as they are kept accessible.

Hi davy ...
Any special type of crimp to be used?
Can you buy crimps in amp rating do you know?
Cheers for your reply mate

Use this if its a 2.5mm^2 ring circuit.
Use this if its a 4mm^2 radial.
Only use a good ratchet crimper.
Cover joint in heat-shrink sleeving.

Remember to keep the insulation clear of the cables and keep the cables in the safe-zones.
