Rip it up and start again ?

[Dumdidums]

Hello I have been putting down flooring and i thought i would get a professional in to get the cost of doing the bay shaped bit of the room and the bit that goes under the doors. He basically said that he would have to rip it all up and start again.
What do you think of what has been done
Looking at the pictures do you agree ?

If the offcuts are shaped to fit the bay, you'd need to square them off before using them.

When I've done it (admittedly in a square room!) I've used the off cut from the last plank in a row to start the next. That way the cut edges are always against a wall where they will be hidden by beading or skirting. The only exception is where this would mean two "end of plank" joins being next to each other.

It looks better than the first attempt though!

thanks this is a clever idea

noted, they havent been shaped yet to fit the bay though
