ace, cheers. It's sited inside so moisture shouldn't be a problem. I think I actually have one of those punch tools so should be covered either way.
Polygon-
If you do, I could probably get you a little 4 pair IDC box conn. I used one when I was sorting out my old flat (wires and extension sockets everywhere, just wanted to move the master socket and have one line), when I had a later, unrelated fault, the Openreach guy didn't bat an eyelid.
Let me know, I used to work for a telecoms place and my mate is still their stores manager so could ask him to grab me one.

They look like jelly crimps, they create a connection that will also keep out moisture.
You can use a junction box with screw down terminals to rejoin the single pair(s). BT/Openreach would normally use one with IDC terminals that you would need a krone/punch down tool to fit but screw down will work just fine and you won't need special tools.
If you're ever given any grief, just say it was like that when you moved in.
