Second picture is a Steatoda , most likely S. nobilis.
Third picture is a harvestman.
Fourth picture is Tetragnatha sp. I think T. extensa, but not 100% sure.

Oops! When I said the third photo was a harvestman, I obviously meant the fourth photo I seem to have missed the third one altogether...

Sorry Faz; most spiders don't have common names, but for info, the Steatoda species are usually called False Widow spiders.
Tetragnatha are known as Stretch spiders or Long Jawed orb weavers. In future I will endeavor to use both common and scientific names.
