Default Best way to join (extend) a Cat5e cable?

The cable is solid core UTP and is perhaps no more than 20m in length.
It is currently supporting a 100mbps network.

What would be the best way to extend the cable? I was considering
soldering/heatshrinking as opposed to fitting plugs and using a
coupler. Is this a bad idea? Unfortunately running a new cable is
unlikely to be an acceptable option.
