As per SJD, we call them solder sleeves in my neck of the woods. They're available from RS Components, Digi-Key etc.
They come in all sizes and configurations and the type we use you just strip the two wires, shove them in so they overlap 5 or 6 mm in the centre of the sleeve then use a miniature blowtorch to melt the slder and shrink the sleeve.
It used to be that they were only available in aviation and mil spec and cost a fortune but nowadays they're available all over the place in general electrical spec and they're much cheaper than they used to be.
