Thats very interesting, after posting this I recalled in my last house I had a similar kitchen and I was sure I had a 1200mm breakfast bar there, upon digging a little on the net, I found a few suppliers, none of them were the ones you linked me to so thanks for the link, now I know that at...

There are lots of laminate suppliers, unfortunately it would appear that the maximum width available is 900mm which is not very helpful when I need 1200mm x 1600mm approx :cry:

Its a really poor picture but best I could manage as the orgiinal file is a PDF so had to use my phone to get a JPEG image, anyway, the wall that is being removed is highlighted in green

Paul you are a star!! Success at last, finally managed to remove it, did eventually see the arrows you described but only with a torch, would never have seen them if you hadn't told us. Thanks for such a fast response too, hall is on its first coat of plaster!! Mandy :D :D :D

I have read a post on how to remove this room stat for decorating, I have tried unhinging upwards and also tried to locate two tabs above the battery compartment which allow the hinge mechanism to release, but unless I am being really dim, I still cannot get the thing to budge (can't see any...
