Plasterer has been in this week and after leaving today, he left the light on in the room. I went to the room to turn the light off and saw the switch in this state

Not only are the wires completely covered in plaster, the switch didn't turn the light off (the wiring has been compromised) so I had to remove the bulb instead to turn the light off. Also worth mentioning that he did trip the fuse several times when working near this switch.

He's back tomorrow to finish off the room. Do I point this out and expect him to clean it up before he's finished the job or is this considered normal in plastering and let the electrician sort it out? I am guessing the former but interested to hear from some more experienced on reasonable next steps.
