That looks much worse than if a cowboy had done it.
Laminated flooring cowboy job by builder

The only way, it to rip that up and do it, or have it done properly. Hopefully you can buy more of the same laminate?
It depends how much of the rest of the laminate is fit to be reused. Laying laminate needs some planning and the right tools to make a decent job of it. Obviously, the only tool he had use of, was a saw. Where he cut round that capped gas pipe, he should have marked and drilled a suitable hole, then cut a section out, to allow it to slide in, followed by the cut out section. The small gaps can then be filled with flexible matching coloured caulk. He not not even managed to click the panels together. The door frames could have been under cut with a multi-tool, so the laminate edge could slide under them. There is sign of any underlay at all, or even an attempt to clean the floor before laying.

£120 a day in London is awfully cheap
It was part of a refurb, which involved rip out and installing new kitchen, moving gas pipe and washing machine location, plasterboard 5 ceilings and skim, skim 3 walls, painting ceiling, walls, doors, frames, laminated flooring, install soffits and painting external window frames.
This is on a 2 bed massionette.......including the blackmail money that he asked for when he walked out 2 days before my tenants were going to move in, looking at just labour £8300.......I paid for all materials but the way he worked he took money for them so he could buy as required for the job but I haven't seen any receipts so far.
Nope that's for sure...says he is a sole trader......all transactions have been through bank transfer luckily never paid him cash.Bet he ain't paying tax on that
He moaned about the workmanship the kitchen fitter that he hired to do the install, but his own workmanship is on a different planet.
Weird thing is he has given me proof of id and address.
When it came to references before starting the job, he said some are on holiday and cos of covid they wont let strangers into their property.
my tenants haven't moaned but were shocked of his workmanship. I'll try to fill with more laminate and coloured caulk.

Maybe he should have stuck to tiling - laminate and woodworking aren't his forte.
