Well Mike, I don't know what's available in the UK but some manufacturers offer already low profile "background/relief buildings"
I would check the nearest LHS (local hobby shop). I'm pretty sure they can help you out.
If that's not what you were asking for let me know.
Good luck

Metcalfe Models have 6-7 sets of low relief buildings:

Don't know where to get them in Canada, because Metcalfe is in North Yorkshire, UK. That would be closer to you Mike. :D

Well Mike, I'm afraid to say but you might have to cut "full grown" buildings apart. But if you have a closer look at them you might be able to use both front and back, maybe even the sides.
I wonder what you come up with, keep us updated!
