Tip for the future - always ask the client at interview about the company's working hours as agents frequently lie.

You can't ask to pay hours that you don't work. Common sense.

So was wondering where I stand with the missing 5 hours as per the contract.
Or are you saying that you're only getting paid the 45 hours in your contract not the 49 hours you are working (assuming you are)?
When you can be bothered explain yourself properly, we might be bothered to offer an opinion.

If you're on an hourly rate you bill for the hours you worked.
If you're on a day rate you bill for each day you've worked, even if the client has told you to go home as there isn't enough work.

You'll get no help whatsoever in General as a rule. My 2p worth is probably not even worth that, as I only ever negotiate a daily rate, but the whole point about contracting is you get paid for the work you do, and if there isn't enough work for a full 40 hour week, you won't be paid for a 40 hour week. Based on the limited information you have given, I'd be negotiating for a 4 day week, and have a spare day to work on something else, or go and watch the cricket. I'm assuming you're new to contracting, in which case you'd better be ready for things like this (and worse). All part of the life, I'm afraid.
