Making good after work done

Had an electrician fitting some new plug sockets and he pulled up carpets to do the work. He hasn't put them back properly so they look all frayed and not fitted against wall and also the metal dividers between the rooms and hallway carpet has been ripped away so there is now no join between both carpets. It looks a mess and I have tried and failed to sort it myself. Is this usual, or should he have put them back as they were?
