Gap between concrete and ply over old floorboards, kitchen

Hi, our new kitchen has been fitted and we want to lay Quickstep laminate for flooring, however ripping out old lino revealed concrete floor that has crumbled at edge down middle of floor where its meant to meet old floorboards which have previously been covered with ply, this has left a messy gap. Also further along where ply meets ply there is a difference in level of a couple mm. Fitter reckoned pour leveller on to gap/hole and job done, and that we can then put down underlay and laminate, but gap is upto an inch wide, and poking a stick down I've found some bits are a good 4 inches deep. Length of the hole along the gap is about 4 inches too, and there is a very slight difference of about a mm in level between concrete and the ply too. Any advice and thoughts welcome. As kitchen has already been put in I don't think boarding out whole room is an option anymore? Thanks in advance
