Thanks Slider. I did a search on "maintenance free junction box". This
came up the Ashley J803 Maintenance Free Junction Box 32A 3 Terminal

£2.95 + VAT. Looks perfect - cheers.

Contrary to what it says, I don't believe it conforms to the regs.
There's nothing crimped, soldered, or brazed about the connection
(at least, as far as I can see in the picture).

The most accepted method is to use crimps.
I have used a regular screw terminal junction box and then soldered
the terminals too, but this is only suitable if you are good and
competent at soldering.

But you can't get crimps to make a T-junction (as noted earlier). And
soldering in a junction box seems risky as the largish copper (brass?)
terminals will require significant heating, which could easily weaken/damage
the the plastic supporting them.
