I have messaged the fitter that it's unsafe as it is. 

The gap has been measured comes to 30mm.

The LVT is 5mm thick. There are LVT left.

The 1st picture just needs a cover whereas the 2nd needs more attention.

Again, your measuring doesn't really help :-) But I get the drift.

Yes, Pic 1 looks as tho' a trim can go straight on.

Pic 2 is the problem, and does represent a risk imo. Stepping downwards from that laminate, if your foot falls half on the laminate and half on the missing section, it could unbalance you. Going up, if your foot tip catches the laminate edge, it will be a trip hazard.

In the first pic, the board under the LVT is what - more than 20mm thick? (Made up of what looks like timber, with plywood on top). And it's around 50mm to the stair nosing?

You know what needs doing :-)

Looking at the SF trim piece, although it's nicely wide, it's only 15mm deep, so I can't see it covering the exposed face of the added laminate piece. You'll need a 'deeper' trim'. The B&Q one you said you bought looks as tho' it's 25mm 'tall' - is the front face part will cover a depth of 25mm. If so, it might just do.

Anyhoo, let us know what the guy says, and what he proposes to do.

Will see what the solution he comes up with. Picture 
2 maybe adds the LVT there timber, plywood to make it leveled and cover with the trim.

Anything that will level the extra bit of LVT, and be secure.

The gap is just under 40mm. Will return the ones and get this https://www.diy.com/departments/goodhome-aluminium-anti-slip-step-protector-l-900mm-w-40mm/3663602528791_BQ.prd


The area is leading to a bedroom and bathroom. I have attached the area before renovation works also. Not sure the LVT should have gone to the very end. 

The area without LVT is 60mm

I repeat; that ~20mm step is an accident waiting to happen. It's going to feed your brain all sorts of wrong info about that step.

Extend the flooring at the same level right to the nose of the step (even if you need to trim the rounded existing nose) and put an angled profile over the new nose. Anything else is a bodge, the floor fitter should have done this anyway but probably had no sight of the job before arriving to fit it.
