Can Wago connectors be plastered over?
I would happily use a wago box in a stud wall to extend a cable, and indeed have done, not too sure about it being in a block wall and plastered over though. I would use wagos still but with heat shrink over the joint instead. The inline wagos from here are excellent for extending cable runs.
Can you conceal Wago connectors?
With Wago connectors the ONLY way of achieving a maintenance-free connection is to enclose the appropriate Wago connectors within a Wagobox. (The Wagobox is also only designed to accept certain types of Wago connectors to achieve MF certification.)
