I had some plywood sheet cut to size in B&Q a couple of years ago and the
cut edges were quite splintery and ragged - a not very sharp blade, I
think and the operator almost said as much. It didn't matter a toss in
my application.

However, now I need some 12mm ply sheets cut where the quality of the cut
edge does matter. What should I reasonably expect? Do these places
usually make good quality cuts?

If they set the blade so that it only just gets through the wood it will
attack the surface at an angle and that greatly reduces splintering.

Yes, this is the way to go.

Or you can score the cut with a Stanley knife and make the saw cut on the
"waste" side of the score.
The outer lamination of faced plies is very thin, you can easily cut right
through it.
