Default If consumer unit moved, cables would be too short. solution?

You can join them. Neatest solution is a dedicated enclosure with say DIN
rail terminals. However junction boxes are fine if you are not planning on
plastering over them. There are also plenty of other enclosures you can
use with wago terminals or crimps etc.


Agreed, the DIN rail is neat and looks very professional: might be the
option if you wanted to tidy up an old installation prior to selling, but
it's not cheap.


I'm just doing my garage electrics.
Standard metal adaptable box:

Din rail:

Assorted WAGO connectors.

3 wires in, 3 out, total cost less than £10 per box. This size of box
will take probably 12 WAGO 2.5mm connectors, which cost 45p ish each, so
not at all expensive for what would be a nice neat job.

Maybe £20 for a similar set-up for a fusebox to consumer unit
conversion?
