2.5 year old with violent tantrums

I know, he's two... it goes with the territory... but am losing the plot with my ds. When he woke up this morning the first thing he said was that he didn't want to get up, and proceeded to scream the place down for the next hour. I had to change his nappy and get him dressed as we had to take dd to school. My neck is now scratched to shreds, theres a lump taken out of the wall where he has thrown a chair at it, everywhere I try to put him he devastates, there is nowhere 'safe' as I have furniture in each room. If I put him upstairs he'll literally throw things over the stair gate and downstairs. Highchair, dining table top, toy boxes, contents of wardrobes, you name it. He pushed his baby sister over yesterday. He bites and scratches. Triggers? When he doesn't get things his own way. Am sure he is tired because baby wakes us all up, but how can I manage his behaviour? When he's having a tantrum he gets a 'look' on his face and there is such fury that I can't do a thing to stop him. I'm giving plenty of positive praise for good behaviour - should I seek help from health visitor with this one?

he doesn't throw highchairs etc down the stairs - just throws them!
