If youre not happy try talking to him, you wouldnt pay for a shirt with one arm missing so why pay for a sub-standard job, worst case scenario get a pro into do you a written quote to put right give to guy who did work and try hit a happy medium. somebodys bound to lose out, but why should it be you?

Only my opinion but if joists exposed you should get as much wood to wood contact for the sake of £50 ,
If the floor has bowed then its weakend so stablizing is the key word,
Also Id bolt rather than screw.

hope this helps :)

Laminate

you dont need the newspaper but the 2mm foam has its use's
it acts as a suppressor as the laminate "floats" above the sub floor think jam in the sandwich!!! also it helps with sliding the laminate in place when fitting.
Hope this helps :)

Might help

could you try raking out the damaged area with a nail and re-grout the area ?
