Can you take pictures of what you’re not happy with? Gives us a better idea.
I guess your experience is why people tend to stick with tradespeople they trust, and why word of mouth is still really important.
Also, don’t fret too much. Having experienced people making right and doing the finishing will make a massive difference.

Thanks @6pt and @cozey that's really useful.
I'm struggling to figure out just what was going through my mind when I commissioned the new boards. I have a fair bit of experience reviewing quotes/tenders and thinking about cost vs quality. Possibly just a moment of trying to "just get on with it" but the cost is approximately 30% of the whole refurb and in some ways all it's achieved is to move the "problem" from the middle of the room to the edges. FFS. Technically the work is a reversible intervention, so it's not as bad as all that. I think I can forgive myself as long as the finishing isn't skimped. And perhaps I just lose a couple of £k into the wind. Life could be worse for sure.
