I'm replacing my kitchen tap with a new monoblock one.

Old tap is copper tails - speedfit Flexi hose - copper pipe supply.

New tap has Flexi tails prefitted which end in 1/2 inch female coupling.

Problem is the new tails are a bit too short. Is there some kind of speedfit coupler to connect 1/2 inch female to a speedfit socket, or is there a better way, bearing in mind I'm not a plumber but usually ok with DIY stuff!

Edit - I found a hep2o connector which is 1/2" to a brass stub but not sure if this works with speedfit stuff

Can you remove the prefitted flexi tails and just whack on some longer ones?

Easiest way is above. Prob 10mm tails, unscrew and measure.
Or buy push fit 15mm connector, joiner, coupler thingy and make a short extension using a few cms of 15mm copper
