Hello all

I have just had my kitchen drylined and now the cables entering the
backboxes are too short to be easily wired into the socket/light
switches. I'd like to just extend the cables with a chocolate box
connector (I think thats what they're called!)My question is what type
do I need, I see 30AMP big ones and other smaller ones. whats the
smallest connector I can get away with, is it dependent on the ampage
of the connected device?

Cheers

you CAN extend them by any means practicable (but you should use proper
mains connector blocks which won't fit in the space available) which may in
the long run give problems and danger, but the correct and safest fix is to
rewire or pull through some slack.
