where to get MDF for shelves cut to measure?

    hi not are if this is the correct place to post but here goes...
    have removed an integrated fridge freezer and gone for a free standing model instead. Am thinking of putting shelving into the cabinet that housed the original integrated fridge. looking at empty shell, the original kitchen fitters seemed to have used standard MDF (?) with predrilled holes in the side that seem to match similar in the kitchen presses that are used to hold up shelves in the presses. Small little holes which are used for little plastic/metal fittings with mdf shelves laid on top. The fridge unit was standard width and height but goes back further than the original fridge. Could I get suitable MDF cut to measure anywhere in the Bray/Shankill area? I don't have an electric saw and don't think it would be worthwhile to buy one for what would probably be 4 cuts in total.
    As you can guess by the description I'm not much of a handyman but this seems within my skin set if I had the wood already cut.
    Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated

    B&Q will cut sheet MDF to sizes for you. However they may not have the finish to match your existing shelves.
    Alternatively, any kitchen fitters should have matching shelves of the right size

    Also measure the depth of the cabinet (which presumably would be 60cm wide?). You might be able to just get some shelves from Ikea. The kitchen shelves are in the Maximera range and start at like 5 euros...

    B&Q can cut but the accuracy is not always great. Its great for getting large bits into you car though.

    Where in the country are you? I've used Larry's DIY in Drumcondra to buy and have panels cut to my measurements when fitting out a kitchen cupboard.

    Woodworkers in Terenure will cut to size.
    You can fill out an online form with sizes materials etc. and they will mail you a quote.
