Fit a 13A socket at the place where the cables have to be joined...

Or a junction box.
If the join will be inaccessible, then it must be crimped, soldered,
or brazed. Crimping is the one normally used (most reliable in less
skilled hands, providing correct crimps and ratchet crimper used).

Hire a licensed professional.
Sorry. From a purely informational point, this wasn't terribly useful.
But the correct answer will depend mainly on the codes in your
jurisdiction, which you did not specify. Once specified, someone
familiar with the local codes can answer, or judge whether providing
such an answer might lead to a bigger can of worms than is worthwhile,
liability-wise.

Erm, there are no such animals in many countries, including the OPs,
judging from the wording of the question and the time zone of the post.

Lets see: 'Ring bus' and a time zone offset 0h from GMT probably puts
him in Great Britain or somewhere in Western Europe. Definitely the land
of permits, licenses and other sundry rules and regulations.

| I am in the UK and I am certificated to BS7671 16th edition and all that -
it is just that I was having a bit of an argument with another electrician
that was saying you could use 30A plastic 'chock block', screw down type
strip terminals and I didn't think that was allowed.
Crimps or a 30A JB then it is 
Thanks

I don't see any reason why you could not use these type of connectors.
As long as the cables were glanded into a suitable enclosure.

Yes, 'chock block' connector is fine in a suitable enclosure,
providing the connection does not become inaccessible buried
in the building fabric.
