While trying to fit kitchen units I noticed that the wall is not completely vertical. It's leaning back and losing about 2.5mm for every 100mm up, which is fairly slight but means across the height of a cabinet I'm not flush at the top by about 2cm, which is really annoying. I've seen people get around this with shims but I'd rather just get the wall level if at all possible. Are there any particular tips/techniques on how to level out this kind of discrepancy on a wall? The wall itself is plaster on brick.

Only way is to remove plaster back to brick and then get walls vertical with backing plaster and then skim plaster. You would need a good plasterer as many can't do a decent job when walls are vertical in the 1st place
So a 20mm packing baton across the top would allow cupboards to hang level?
It's only base units I'm fitting. Not sure what a packing baton is, I'm assuming it's similar to a shim?
20mm timber fixed to wall behind top of units, you work top with need to be wider than standard 600mm or you loose the front overhang.
Easier just to trim back of cupboard to fit.
