My understanding (I'm not an electrician) is that junction boxes are frowned upon in power circuits (Legitimate for use in lighting though).

Be careful these days with domestic wiring. Changes in the Building Regs means that you need approval for a lot of wiring stuff. This includes anything external (gardens etc), anything in kitchens (could be as simple as moving a socket) and I think bathrooms, anything involving complete new circuits, and of course complete rewiring.
