Would also like to trim the steerer a bit. I have never done this before, would people suggest I take it to the local bike shop for them to do?
Yes. Take it to a shop.
It should be done properly, so if you're not confident it's probably not worth risking those forks. Also if you don't have the various bits, you're probably going to end up spending a tenner anyway...
...is it worth saving £20 in the scheme of the whole build?
Yes. Take it to a shop.
