New fence and a gate cost

Clearing up building mess
Who's responsible for cleaning up the mess after building work is completed? My builder has left a mess and says it's not his job to clear it. Is this true?
Garden steps renovation
Who do I need to renovate garden steps and make them shallower?
Bathroom move from downstairs to upstairs
I'm looking to move my bathroom from downstairs to upstairs. (It's an old house). The main building work, I guess, would be to cut a hole for, and install, a frosted-glass window, and cut a hole for a toilet and bath/sink waste pipes. I know where I want the bathroom and have started to stud out part of a bedroom to accommodate it. My question is, ballpark, how much to do the window and the waste holes, and what permissions would I need.
Is building control needed for an unvented hot water shortage system?
Will I need building control approval to have an unvented hot water shortage system installed? In what cases would this apply and in what cases might it not? Thanks.
Is it cheaper to extend externally or reconfigure the internal structure?
We are extending to the side of our property. We have the option of either having a larger extension OR a smaller extension but reconfiguring a couple of load bearing walls in order to create the layout we need. Obviously we want to make sure we can afford this before we submit planning permission. Generally speaking, which is likely to be the cheaper option?

Lateral restraint strap installation
Hi we had this on our structural survey of a 1930s property we are hoping to buy in Manchester: 'To eliminate further lateral movement affecting the front and rear elevation a series of lateral restraint straps need to be installed to tie the affected wall back to the first floor joists.' Any ideas of price for this job? And would it involve much disruption/need for redecorating to the inside of the property? Thanks
Extension price
How much approximately would I look to be paying for an extension approx 4m by 6m and for a few years later to build a second floor right on top of that. Or am I crazy to think something like this is possible?
Glazed extension query
I like the idea of a glazed extension. But how do you make sure it doesn't get too hot or cold like conservatories tend to?
