How do you know it isn't a supporting wall? If you are so sure then why the doubt? Not being mean, just curious. What is above it?
Even though there may not be a wall above, the upper floor joists may rest on it.
You need to give more info for a clearer answer. Or get a surveyor in to confirm what you need to do. Will cost, but better safe than sorry0 -
Competent builder would be ok and cheaper.0

Im sure its not a supporting wall as the joists rest the opposite way. The wall above is only latt n plaster. Having never knocked a wall down before I just wanted to check> Thanx for your replies0

The joists will be parallel to the wall as opposed to perpendicular0
