located in a suitable enclosure
Just finishing the sentence

Strain relief not needed if the cables are properly clipped/cleated.Would I be right in my thinking that the enclosure I've missed is to provide the required strain relief for the joint?

Not being a legal eagle,its never easy to put a definitive interpretation of the regulations that is agreed by all
My reason for not considering the ceiling an enclosure is that someone can access the void with no intention or expectation of it containing unprotected cables,an example being the connector blocks and tape used for fancy light fittings
With that I rest my case your honour
That is so true.
And there I guess is the issue in this particular example... what constitutes unprotected? I would have said, soldered joint, with adhesive lined shrink over individual cores and then an overall adhesive shrink encasing the basic insulation and inner shrink, extending by say 0.5" over the outer sheath would constitute 'protected'.
My 20p on heat shrink is it's a good start, but it's not same standard as the original cable so needs additional containment / protection. Just my opinion
Yes,to me the above example would give the impression of being well insulated, but here is the however
It seems that a cable that has had the insulation removed,the new insulation should provide at least the the same degree of protection as the original,can we guarantee that is so with our own efforts
