How long is slightly? Is it a couple of mil all the way along or just on an edge?
Could they be planed or sanded? In my experience with fitting shelves into alcoves I run into difficulty when the angle of the alcove isn't consistent all the way down. I can usually wiggle them almost into place and spot how much needs trimming - often only a couple of mil on one corner or edge. I'd then either use a pull saw or something for a very fine cut if it's a large bit, or plane or sand it down if it's smaller depending on the grain.

Buy this, then sell it on ebay/FB marketplace. Or keep it. The cost/loss will liekly be less than you'll pay someone to do it.

any advice where I could go to get some solid oak shelves cut down by a couple of millimetre? I bought them online to fit our alcoves and four fit perfectly, but two of them are slightly too long. They are solid wood about 33mm thickness. I don't think B&Q or Wickes cut timber that isn't bought there. I am in North West London. Thanks
