Thanks for your help but don't quite understand that last one. What do you mean by going half stud?

Thanks for your help. So you think cutting out the chipboard 4"-6" will be fine? Sadly, can't really fit a baton or any noggins through that small gal to support the board edge on the other side. I did wonder if it's possible to cut out a small section of the bottom of the wall plate between...

Yes, the Span of the whole frame is about 2m. So just to clarify, you think I could get my multitool or scraper/hook to carve out some chipboard (highlighted red) and leave everything else Insitu? The chipboards are 600mm wide and the area I'm chipping out is probably about 100mm-150mm on...
