IMO i would use thru crimps as now classed as a permanent connection,but why not go for a rewire.Reading the post mate,you really haven't said why you are at the job,what is the exact problem

Sorry mate i don't want to sound rude here,but if you are working for a local council(LABC),shouldn't they know all the regs regarding residential homes.If you are going to change all the CU's,they will need a PIR.You keep going on about a bell chime.What exactly are you there to do mate

Here the local inspectors dont allow joints in the DB.Surely this is bad practice anyway.
