If it's not supporting any weight, it should probably just come down with a lump hammer. Much quicker and neater than drilling and grinding.

It's getting it neat along the edges of the existing cabinet that I was thinking of using the grinder for.
We've decided to let the floor guys do it. Mainly because of the what ifs. I am confident that afterwards I'll wish we save the money and diy. I think also the total cost of the floor feels like a lot at the moment. Especially when it's not our dream floor, but it's the best option on balance that meets both of our requirements.
I mainly want it done as I can't see it getting cheaper. Also pretty much all the flooring with >5mm wood top layer is disappearing from the market. Everything now seems to be 3mm in a cost cutting exercise I guess. So I'm concerned it will be hard to buy what we've currently got at the price we want.
Sorry for the long post, just need to get it off my mind.

The joists are definitely running in the direction of the blue line as I put in a second ceiling light.
Probably should have said. It's a 1950s build so it's a brick wall, not a stud wall.
