Should i complain about paving around manholes?

Patio flagstones (slabs), concrete flags, stone flags including yorkstone and imported flagstones.

Hello

We've had some great building work done, and entrusted the same builders to slab our side path and patio. It's generally OK, there is a bit of unbalanced joints going on, but I guess that's to be expected with different sized stones. However, I don't know if I'm being a bit picky with what they've done around the manholes and down the path, where there are large joints of about 4cm, and some slabs but up to the wall, others have a gap.
What do you guys think? How can they rectify this?

That’s as rough as bulls lugs,, 4corners meeting near the gate is wrong,, there should be a 10/12mm gap, in a straight line up against the house, and the same gap, should be up against the fence. Take it up n start Again.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to have the awkward conversation tomorrow then. I could live with the wider gap if it was at least the same along the line of the fence as a garage, but it isn't. How could they improve the manholes?
