Don't forget the string angle at the saddle changes when you fret it (albeit minutely)

Correct size files and care to keep the slot angled right and remove any burrs, and smooth the slot to remove file marks and maybe a little lube like Nut sauce

Of course it's really a lot better to not go too far in the first place! Although mistakes do happen even with a lot of experience...

I read this and it would seem its a good idea to have the strings a little proud of the nut, is that the case or is that more for acoustic guitars?

Cunning. You do a dodgy job on the nut to distract the customer so he doesn't notice you've swapped the pickups for terrible cheap ones.
Seriously, though, have you discussed this with the tech that did it? You should at least give him the chance to respond, even if you've decided you don't want him to rectify.

Football is rubbish.
What kind of work will a new pre cut nut need? I can borrow a set of files. Unfortunately the tech I know and trust lives in the far side of London so it might be that Ill be doing this myself. At least if I fluff it up I have only myself to blame. I'm aware that the angle from nut to tuning peg is an issue, anyone want to talk me through it?
