That’s pretty shit TBH

Did you buy good underlay if not they will have probs put a cheaper one in.
I always stick a more expensive underlay in always.

can now feel the floorboards below in each bedroom,
That sounds like you have cheap underlay. I noticed this when we had ours replaced. I was that thick rubber stuff and we opted for the next level down which was the thick foam. Noticeably worse even though we went from old to new.
Also the underlay the removed was thick kinda rubber material and think they’ve whacked in something much less dense
Sounds about right. Do you know they removed it? Eg did you see it, or see the skip? You can just lift up a discreet corner to check. But unfortunately if you didn't spec a specific underlay I'm not sure you have much recourse there.
Also worth pointing out that in pic2 it looks like this carpet is lower than your old carpet. This could be because a. The underlay is thinner, b. The carpet is thinner, c. a. and b.
On the actual laying job, TBH it looks fine to me.

Who did you use for the carpet ? I'm about to get quotes and would rather avoid the bad ones if poss.

What is that strip stuff called that goes between 2 rooms with possible different surfaces? In this case it's aluminium but we need a piece for a room in maybe wood or plastic (not sure).

We’ve had new carpets fitted - which looks like it was done as quickly as possible. It wasn’t cheap but as well as this I can now feel the floorboards below in each bedroom, there are squeaks and floor doesn’t feel level. They also didn’t fit any of the doors back so we had to do that. Am I wrong to suggest that I don’t pay the 2nd half of the money until it is completed to a satisfactory outcome? Also the underlay the removed was thick kinda rubber material and think they’ve whacked in something much less dense - would that seem likely?
