It will be interesting to see if he turns up.
Oh he definately will. I have spoken to his wife who does all the admin work for the "company". I am like a dog with a bone... if he doesnt show i will phone them every hour. On the hour.
The thing that worries me is that he admitted to the lumps and bumps just after he laid the turf and that it was acceptable to him.
But he wasn't the customer you were.
He said it was common and that it wasnt much to worry about.
Certain "lumps" can sink after a while, but if 2/3 of the lawn is like that it dosen't sound too healthy.
Do you think he will roller it out? i hope he doesnt make it worse. But then again, I dont ant him to get away with doing such a bad job!
Its the bit about you picking large rock's from under one turf that suggest's to me he did'nt prep it that well.
It shouldn't need a roller on it.
I actually seen his rotovator getting a big stone caught in it. So he definitely did rotovate. Maybe he just got lazy and didnt do it well, like u said.
It wasn't so much the rotovating it should have been the raking which would have found these stones especially if they were just under or even on the surface.With what you say and what you describe he didn't prep it that well.
Your title is a professionally laid lawn, it's not.
It can be rolled but it's a bit late for that, it should of been tamped at the laying stage, or at least "walked on".
Dead patches, i can grow turf on top of a concrete base, if fed with the right materials i don't see why you have dead patches if fed correctly.
Take pictures show us.
He sounds like a cowboy, ffs, why don't i find jobs this easy?.

If it's a pro job, stop whinging.
What?? That doesn't even make sense. You got a brain cell in there? Anywhere??
Here are some pics:

The gap in between the turf:
These flowers have sprouted up, what are they??:
