Can you extend cables in a socket?

2 Answers from MyBuilder Electricians If your leaving the sockets where they are use back box extensions, this will keep everything in a fire zone. Then crimping new cables of the same size 2.5mm for the sockets and 1mm for the lights or use Wago connectors as all of the connections will be accessible. Hope this helps.
