I need to use junction boxes to connect up socket connections (spurs)
to a ring main, but these junction boxes will be inaccessible later on.
Can I solder the solid cores, and then clamp them under the terminal
screws?


If you are soldering, do it the other way round -- screw them in
as normal first, and then solder the terminal and conductors
together. You should only be considering this if you are already
fully competent at electrical soldering. More commonly crimped
connections are used, as it's a method which is more likely to
produce a good result in less skilled hands, but with the proviso
that a good quality ratchet crimper is used.
