Yourself with a car jack. It's very easy.

it's straightening the drop outs afterwards which i don't have the gauges for.

It's only 2mm a side so there's not a lot to straighten

I was going to suggest Condor but not sure they do that sort of thing anymore. Bikefix is the only other that springs to mind.

Sheldon Brown has a DIY guide.

Condor outsources to Dave Yates/ Lloyd (I forget which). You could try the shoreditch bike kitchen- not a shop but a teaching centre that loans space, tools and expertise.
