Contractors don't work overtime, permies do that. You are business supplying a service to your client. Some people do, some people don't. It's your choice how you present yourself to your client and whether you work to rule or go the extra mile but you must be firm when they try to take the piss.
It isn't expected to supply laptop in general as most companies now have policies regarding ant-virus, connection of 3rd party equipment to networks so will likely get a company one to use. Don't take this for granted. As a small business/contractor you should be able to provide your own equipment. What IT business doesn't own a laptop to work on. Permies take it for granted they are given laptops, contractors can't.
I think you need to spend some time understanding the differenc between a contractor and a permie and read up very carefully on IR35.
