Wago's, they are apparently very good. They also do a box for maintenance free joints. Yesterday an electrician with loads of experience was telling me he'd seen some fail! Otherwise they seem to be becoming an industry standard, especially for lighting joints now we're all moving away from 3 plate in lighting roses and the wires are in the ceiling space. The advantage with them is the sprung plate that clips the wire, it keeps pressure on the conductor where a screw can deform the conductor and then come loose over time due to movement or ac pulsing.

Have often wondered how these bodges happen. In my opinion rewiring a a whole house/flat is very easy. The hard bit with wiring is fault finding.
The last few places I have rewired I have covered the wiring in galvanized capping. Making sure the the wire can still pulled through to be replaced, seems that every place I get involved with has poor wiring.
What do you think of these:
