I build this computer Sept 2011 from all new parts brought from a computer fair. I have had the odd problem with configuration over the past 3 weeks but nothing major since. This cost me £330 to build and the TV was £300 whilst also having a 1.5TB USB storage device

Most BIOS builds include the option to support a USB Keyboard.
Plug in a PS/2 keyboard temporarily and explore the BIOS and change this setting so that you can use a USB keyboard with the BIOS, that will solve the issue

First, did you unplug and replug in your keyboard?
You can try a nutty solution. Turn on your pc. While booting, unplug it. Next time your turn it on, it might say your Windows session did not end correctly at the safe mode screen. Not optimal solution, but an idea.
I still would try a new keyboard.

The Gigabyte motherboard on my second computer was very picky about keyboards when it came to entering the BIOS. My Razer/Microsoft keyboard wouldn't work; my old MS 600 keyboard would. Both are USB keyboards.
The biggest difference between the two is that the Razer keyboard has a lot of fancy extra buttons. I suspect a plain-vanilla USB keyboard might do the trick. You can also follow Qdos' suggestion and use a PS/2 keyboard. Don't know what it's like over there, but here in the US you can find them for about $3. I see them all the time sitting at the curb on trash day.
I always keep basic PS/2 and plain USB keyboards kicking around for circumstances like this, because I've never found another workaround for accessing the BIOS. Luckily for you it wasn't also set to 'Halt on Keyboard Error' or you'd never have managed to boot into Windows either...
Thank you for the +rep

Darn....I just saw this post. Glad your all sorted now. My question is; where you connecting the keyboard directly to the mobo and if so what port? Where you connecting the keyboard to a usb add on card?
The reason I'm asking is I just went through this a few weeks ago and couldn't get into my BIOS either. I did some spring cleaning on my case and unplugged everything. Then plugged everything back in when I was done and found out I couldn't get into my BIOS...after some soul searching and head scratching I realized I had a couple of my usb connections switched around. I reversed them a voila I had access to my BIOS.
