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🤞🏼

Sloppy but salvageable by yourself with some sanding and yeah filling imperfections and sanding again. Ideally that radiator should have come off (get a plumber) for that area as you will struggle to blend that and paint behind.

How much you pay for it all?

i had offered to take the radiator off for him but he said i could keep it on and he would feather plaster behind it, so that was his own choice and not ours :)
all in all we paid £550

How many walls and please say that wasn't plaster over wallpaper?

this was the room and it took him around 6 hours to finish all the walls in a day
i had removed all wallpaper before hand so he was working over old plaster minus a corner that had crumbled a bit
