Can anyone recommend a decent brand for DIY hair trimming? There seem to
be so many on the market from a few pounds upwards. Preferably one which
doesn't need the blades oiling.

We've been quite happy with Phillips/Norelco products.
The current one can be used either corded or cordless, and came with a
variety of attachments and accessories.
It does require regular brushing-out of residue, and very occasional
lubrication (lubricant supplied with trimmer, and seems to last forever).
It's extremely lightweight and easy to handle - even lighter when used
without the cord.
