Default Extending ring main - joint method?

I want to break into the ring main and add a couple of sockets but what
is the current best or the recommended method of jointing the cables - a

joints will just be under normal bedroom floorboards.

TIA


cut the cable, install 2 sockets, each cut end goes to one of them,
and add a linking bit of cable. Otherwise you can use a jbox or
crimps. Soldering's also allowed, but with that you should still use a
jbox to enclose it.
