Most frame builders.

£15 angle grinder from screwfix, a cutting disc and a sanding disc will do the trick, keep cooling it with a wet rag as you do it to stop the frame work hardening and then sand the area down afterwards.

Where are you based?

Might be worth chatting with [b][url= http://www.18bikes.co.uk/index.php ]18 Bikes[/url][/b] if you're up this way? They talked with me a while back about doing a similar frame prep (boss removal) before sending it off to their powder coater for the finish - not exactly a one-stop-shop but I suspect they'd do a proper job of it.

Mercian Cycles in Derby
Primarily road and touring bike manufacturers (and have been longer than Raleigh) but do good job on repairs, resprays and stuff like that on all bikes
Decent prices too
