New clutch.

Had a 3part clutch change done a few days ago,tried it out for the 1st time today,not happy,i have to press pedal down a good bit before i feel any pressure,would the problem be that it needs a better job of bleeding or something more serious.

I would imagine the easiest is to Bleed the system and take it from there

Was the master cylinder cleaned out and bled through before being attached to the new slave?

If not, do a full bleed to see if there is any air or debris somewhere in the pipework.

I had mine done in September. I was surprised just how light the
pedal was after. I didn't realise just how bad it was before, it took considerably more effort to depress the clutch.
I was a bit concerned at first and almost took it back for an additional bleed but after a few days I got used to it and am now very happy.
