Ken Parsons's advice contravenes regulation 526.3 of the 17th Edition wiring regulations.

Just something for you to consider.

If it is only an ordinary light fitting would extend the cable via a 5amp connector wrap it well with insulating tape, and make sure it is between the two ceilings with only the new cable coming through.

Unless the joint is accessible you would need to extend it using compression crimps.
