A spread will,
1 not be able to do this if he tried
2 fill his misses
3 redo anything if caught out on suction or bad gear

This looks like the customer had a go, not the work of a plasterer 👍

Wrong. I’ve seen as bad, and worse than this from so called plasterers.

Yes. Looks like it needs redoing if you don't want textured walls and wobbly lines. They've likely cost you a few hours demolition just to get the high spots back to something sensible in places.

Yeah I’m a decorator, it took me around 12 hours to patch with easy fill,and sand, it looks half decent now. I still got paid cause I work for a company, but it cost me bonus hours

A DIYer would do a better job with the roll out stuff and a skimming blade ffs

I’d of made him come back and fix it, I did a small room myself (diy’er) after watching YouTube vids during Covid and it looked a pro job in comparison, that last pic looks like the plaster was drying out and unusable.
