I have used heating control wiring boxes for main wiring, which are
basically a 12 way strip in a 6x4 plastic box.
Wickes used to sell them for a couple of quid a pop, but they don't
seem to do them now. I did notice that Hager do a similar style of
junction box in their catalogue, but have no idea of costs though.

If you want something that actually fits within the alarm box, then
I have used some molex style (0.1" pitch) crimp terminal connectors

and also how the crimps come (some are only sold in reels of 10,000 !)
