Hi, neighbour has asked me if I would move his cooker control switch for him. Since new position of it is further away,this would require joining existing cable via JB or, as is preferable, running a new cable. Running a new cable is a fairly big job,so do the regs allow a JB to be used in this case. Cable is twin and earth 6mm. Thanks

Would be a bit of a hassle getting a JB that this cable will fit into safely imo. Tin hat on.
 
Wago do 6mm connectors but I dont think 2x 6mm cables will fit into a wagobox. Crimp or solder connections.
 
So I could do a solder/crimp join without a JB ( it would be underfloor)
As long as it's Maintenance Free, but I'm not a fan of joining that size of cable, under a floor, or anyway for that matter, asking for trouble in the future if you ask me, tin hat still on.
 
Lifts tin hat, knocks his head and then replaces tin hat.

Agree Mate but there will always be someone who thinks that a joint is a safer option. OP needs to explain the possible pitfalls of a joint to the customer, I'll leave me tin hat off now.
