Correct way to join electrical cables in a wall

Hi all,

I'm needing to move an electrical socket about 1-2 meters in my living room. I was intending on joining the cable in the cavity of the original socket then, as its not needed, covering/plastering over it. The join will be inaccessible when finished.

What's the best (correct?) way to join the cable? Crimps, solder, screw in terminals in choc box?

Cheers
