Slight concern the wall I'm knocking down is holding the roof up.

Hi there about to knock this wall down, it's just a stud wall right? Not supporting the roof?

Thanks for any advice.

This is beyond my area of expertise, but my gut instinct is that it may may semi structural after the atitc was converted.

At some point, someone smarter than me will offer you advice
 
It has none of the signs of being a load bearing partition and is 99% certain not to be. Cut square through a stud, one at a time. If there is any downward movement it will become obvious immediately. The upper part of the stud should more or less swing free. If it bites down hard on the lower stud - indicating downward movement - you could always rejoin them with a section of timber and screws. (you won't need to)
