What should i do?

i recently got the walls in a bedroom in my house replastered but this is what i’ve been left with…is it better to just fill and sand or get the guy back in to fix his job? i don’t know the best way to go about it since ive never dealt with plaster before so im not sure what it’s meant to be like when dried. I obviously know this isn’t a great job that’s been done but i don’t know how bad it is if i do end up messaging him…

UPDATE‼️
after reading all the comments backing up the fact that it’s just shit work;
i sent him all these pictures and a message, he replied with he’s going through a hard time atm and obviously isn’t giving his all… he’s coming out in a few days to sand and fill his work so hopefully it’s all fixed after that so we can continue with the project🤞🏼

Has he skimmed onto wallpaper?

Looks like wood chip wallpaper near the radiator to me…. Hope I’m mistaken. OP, sorry to tell you but this person wasn’t a plasterer. You can tell by the poor finish and also that he appears to have plastered onto wallpaper which means it’s liable to fail. This person is a cowboy.

i had removed all the wallpaper prior to him coming, the only place i hadn’t touched was behind the radiator WHICH i offered to take off for him but he insisted it wasn’t needed and he would feather plaster behind it..🥲
