This article has been updated as authorities confirm a revised death toll and launch a criminal and corruption inquiry.At least 128 people have died, and about 200 remain unaccounted for after a fire spread rapidly across bamboo scaffolding and flammable netting at the Wang Fuk Court estate in Hong Kong. Police have arrested three renovation company staff on suspicion of manslaughter as investigators begin a full probe into safety and fire compliance.s
caffmag previously reported on the fire when the death toll stood at 55. Authorities have now confirmed a significantly higher number of fatalities as rescue operations end and investigators begin entering the damaged towers.
Firefighters and emergency teams battled the blaze for 42 hours across seven of the estate’s eight high-rise blocks. Officials described it as the deadliest residential fire in Hong Kong for nearly eight decades.
The latest figures confirm 128 dead and 79 injured, including 12 firefighters. The extent of structural damage means many of the missing may only be located once full access is possible. The fire department said temperatures reached around 500C, causing repeated flare-ups even after sections were initially controlled.
Investigators say the fire began at a lower level before climbing bamboo scaffolding wrapped in construction mesh. The estate had been undergoing major renovation and was covered in flammable materials, including foam boards used to seal windows. These materials are believed to have accelerated vertical and lateral fire spread under windy conditions.
Police revealed that all eight towers’ fire-alarm systems were not functioning effectively at the time of the incident. Residents told local media that alarms had been disabled during renovation work, and several had previously raised concerns about the type of materials being installed.
Three staff from the renovation contractor, including two company directors and an engineering consultant, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Police have also opened a corruption inquiry into renovation approvals and procurement.
Authorities said 89 of the recovered bodies have not yet been identified. Sixteen bodies remain inside the buildings, and recovery teams will begin systematic searches once the structures are deemed safe to enter.
Hong Kong’s government has announced a full review of renovation safety standards, temporary works rules and the use of bamboo scaffolding on occupied buildings. Anger is rising across the city as questions mount over regulatory oversight and enforcement.
Wang Fuk Court, built in 1983, contains nearly 2,000 apartments and housed about 4,600 residents, many of them elderly. With a large number of deaths still unconfirmed, the event is expected to reshape building-safety policy in one of the world’s most densely populated urban areas.

The Autumn Budget has drawn strong criticism from scaffolding, construction and housebuilding leaders, who warn that a combination of higher wage costs, frozen tax thresholds and new tax rises on business owners will increase pressure across the sector during a period of already weak output and tight labour supply.Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed today a major package of tax increases alongside higher wage floors and new public-investment commitments. An early release of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s fiscal outlook shows weaker land supply, a deeper fall in new-build completions and continued pressure on rental supply.
NASC: “taxes, taxes and a bit more taxes”
Clive Dickin, chief executive of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), said the Budget “feels like taxes, taxes and a bit more taxes”, warning that the extended freeze on income tax thresholds risks discouraging lower-rate workers from moving confidently from benefits into employment.
He said the rise in the minimum wage would add cost pressure to scaffolding employers, particularly those bringing in new recruits and supporting them through essential entry-level training and qualifications. “This Budget leaves many unanswered questions,” he said.
Dickin welcomed the Government’s new Youth Employment Guarantee in principle, but said it lacks the detail needed for employers to plan. He added that NASC continues to press for greater flexibility in training bootcamps and remains focused on protecting the competency standards that underpin high-quality apprenticeships.
Dividend tax rise and EOT changes hit construction business owners
The Chancellor confirmed a rise of two percentage points on dividend, property and savings income from April 2026, pushing the ordinary dividend rate to 10.75 per cent and the upper rate to 35.75 per cent.
In a further move affecting construction SMEs, Reeves cut the Capital Gains Tax relief available on Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) sales from 100 per cent to 50 per cent with immediate effect. EOT transfers have become more common among contractors and specialist subcontractors as a succession route. The Treasury expects the measure to raise £3.5bn over six years.
Tax specialists say both changes will directly reduce post-tax income for directors and founders, especially in smaller scaffolding and construction firms where dividends form a central part of remuneration.
Labour cost increases draw sharp reaction
The National Living Wage will rise by 4.1 per cent to £12.71 an hour from April 2026, with further increases for younger workers and apprentices. Employment partner Philip Pepper described the rise as a “massive blow”, arguing that the combined effect of wage inflation, National Insurance adjustments and payroll compliance requirements will strain contractors’ budgets through 2026.
Engineering consultancy Sutcliffe said the Budget leaves firms being asked to deliver growth while absorbing sharply higher employment costs. Labour-intensive trades such as scaffolding are expected to feel the impact earlier and more acutely.
Buy-to-let sector under renewed pressure
Stuart Law, chief executive of Assetz Capital, said the Budget represents “another decisive step” in the decline of traditional buy-to-let. Higher taxes on property income, frozen thresholds and a tightening regulatory environment are expected to reduce landlord returns further.
The OBR forecasts continued rent increases as more small landlords exit the market. Law said renters should expect “sustained upward rent reviews” into the late 2020s as supply remains constrained.
New-build collapse highlights planning failures
The OBR analysis confirms a deeper drop in new-build completions than forecast earlier this year, with net additions expected to fall to around 215,000 in 2026–27. Law said the planning system remains slow, inconsistent and “risk-averse”, with under-resourced departments and political delays restricting the flow of development land.
He warned that even if demand strengthens, developers cannot accelerate delivery without a reliable supply of permissions.
Housing delivery forecast to rise, but industry doubts persist
The OBR expects housing delivery to exceed 300,000 net additions by 2029–30 as planning reforms take effect. Law said these projections depend on regulatory simplification for SME housebuilders, who remain constrained by fragmented requirements and slow decision-making.
“Smaller developers face delay after delay,” he said. “Without meaningful reform, these forecasts will not materialise.”
Construction labour shortages remain a structural barrier
The OBR highlights weak inward migration of skilled construction workers as a major constraint on output. Law said the workforce loss in recent years has become a “structural limit” that will restrict delivery even if planning reforms accelerate.
For scaffolding firms, tightening labour availability continues to push up day rates and slow project mobilisation.
Industry outlook
Construction leaders say the Budget increases financial pressure while leaving fundamental issues unresolved, including workforce shortages, delayed planning reform and uncertainty over the future of training pathways.
Scaffolding and access firms warn that higher labour costs, additional tax burdens and tight cashflow conditions risk suppressing investment and recruitment through 2026.

A Teesside rope access scaffolder has spoken out about his near-fatal steroid addiction, which cost him more than £35,000 and left him in a medically-induced coma for seven days.Zak Wilkinson, 32, from Middlesbrough, spent over two years abusing performance-enhancing drugs whilst preparing for bodybuilding competitions. The rope access scaffolder was injecting steroids up to three times daily, spending more than £750 each month on substances including Anavar, Masteron and Equipoise.
His extreme regime included six meals a day consisting of just five foods – broccoli, chicken, rice, egg whites and steak – alongside at least 45 minutes of daily cardio. He meticulously tracked every aspect of his diet and exercise, weighing even the syrups in his coffee and salt on his food. His Apple Watch constantly monitored his steps and calories burnt, whilst a notepad recorded his meals and morning weight.
On 23 March, Wilkinson’s brutal routine caught up with him when he began having seizures, vomiting and sweating profusely. His sister, Chelsea, 37, put him in the recovery position and called an ambulance.
He was rushed to the ICU unit at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, where doctors initially suspected meningitis. They soon realised his symptoms resulted from steroid use combined with fat loss tablets.
Medical staff placed him in a medically induced coma and advised his family to prepare for the worst. He was diagnosed with “likely provoked seizures in the context of multiple drugs”.

After a gruelling week, Wilkinson pulled through, though he remained non-verbal for three days. Doctors described it as miraculous that he avoided neurological damage. However, he has had to relearn how to walk and initially lacked the strength to lift his three-year-old son, Saint.
Wilkinson has recently appeared as a guest on The View with Vertex podcast, where he shared his story in detail with the aim of deterring other young people from following the same dangerous path.
Speaking about his addiction, he said: “They get a grip of you. When you’re on them you’re training a lot harder and more frequently. That’s when addiction can start becoming involved. For me, focusing and concentrating even more on myself meant I lost myself in the process. You get to a stage where it almost cost me my life.”
He explained that the addiction can go far beyond the physical effects. The steroid use can affect your libido, cause erectile dysfunction and lead to severe mood swings. “If you’re someone who suffered from mood swings it’s who you take them out on and you can become snappy,” he said.
The financial burden was equally significant. “The financial side as well – mine was high as I was injecting multiple times a day,” Wilkinson added. “When taking steroids you’re taking different hormones too whether it’s peptides or a growth hormone. I was taking fat loss tablets with it to accelerate weight loss.”
The combination of substances created a vicious cycle. “I was having more caffeine as I found myself tired more. For me everything was noted. I had a notepad with me tracking my meals, my weight on a morning. I had my Apple watch on me checking steps and checking calories burnt. It’s a very strict regime.”
Wilkinson’s story comes as former Great British Bake Off contestant John Whaite has also opened up about his struggles with steroids, revealing they led him to contemplate ending his life. Whaite began using the drugs after looking in the mirror and feeling hatred for his reflection.
“I can resonate,” said Wilkinson, who maintained a similarly strict diet to the Strictly star. “In this day and age now people are wanting to take things to make things look better facially and physically look huge. People are taking them to look good in a photo or a seven-day, 10 day holiday, whatever it may be. The sad effects are coming after it.”
Now recovered, Wilkinson hopes his experience will serve as a stark warning to others in the bodybuilding community and beyond about the devastating consequences of steroid abuse.

Leading construction and scaffolding safety specialist SIMIAN has marked 20 years of trading since its establishment in November 2005.
The Warrington-based organisation has grown from a small team of industry experts to become one of the UK’s foremost training and consultancy organisations, now operating three core training centres and three satellite locations across the country.
SIMIAN runs facilities in Warrington, the London Academy of Sustainable Construction (LASC), and SOMAX in Weston-Super-Mare, with additional satellite centres in Menai, Kent, and Letchworth.
The company has broadened its offering beyond scaffolding in recent years, opening a dedicated roofing training centre at its Warrington headquarters. The move came in response to growing demand for specialist roofing training.
Throughout its two decades in business, SIMIAN has stuck to a clear mission: raising standards, improving safety, and ensuring construction workers are skilled, confident, and compliant. The organisation works with businesses of all sizes across multiple sectors.
Simon Hughes, managing director at SIMIAN, said: “Reaching 20 years in business is an incredible achievement and a proud moment for our entire team. From our very first day, our focus has been on ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient working practices for the UK construction industry.“Over the years, our team has grown, our training centres have expanded, and our services have evolved, but our commitment to excellence has never wavered. We look forward to continuing to support and develop the workforce for the next 20 years and beyond.”
The company started with a single training centre in Warrington and has since built a network of facilities serving different regions across the UK. This geographical spread has allowed SIMIAN to deliver training programmes to a much wider area.
SIMIAN’s services cover scaffolding safety, roofing work, and broader construction industry requirements, including both training delivery and consultancy work for construction businesses.
The company says it will continue developing its training and safety services for the construction sector, maintaining its position as a key provider of safety training and compliance support for UK construction businesses.
SIMIAN thanked its clients, delegates, partners, and team members for their support over the past 20 years, acknowledging that their collaboration has helped establish the company as a recognised name in construction safety and training.

Construction supply chain firms are warning that potential tax increases in next week’s Autumn Budget could derail the sector’s fragile recovery, with material costs and project delays likely to increase.Terry Paterson, commercial director at EPD, an aftermarket parts supplier for construction machinery, said the industry is already struggling with high input prices, rising energy and transport costs, and supply chain disruption.
“If tax rises go ahead, those pressures will compound: margins will shrink, material orders may be delayed or cancelled, and that will feed upstream into manufacturing and suppliers,” he said.
The Construction Products Association has sharply downgraded its output forecasts for the sector. Total construction output is now expected to grow by just 1.1 per cent in 2025 and 2.8 per cent in 2026, down from earlier projections of 1.9 per cent and 3.7 per cent.
Private housing has seen the steepest downgrade, with output now forecast to rise by 2.0 per cent in 2025 and 4.0 per cent in 2026, compared with previous forecasts of 4.0 per cent and 7.0 per cent.
UK construction activity fell sharply in October, with the S&P Global UK Construction PMI dropping to 44.1 from 46.2 in September. It was the tenth consecutive month below the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction, marking the longest continuous downturn since the financial crisis.
Paterson said EPD’s customers are reporting stagnant business, with some seeing activity down by 20 per cent. “If taxes go up, this already weak situation could collapse further,” he said.
He called for clear signalling of tax policy so suppliers and contractors can budget and plan, along with supply chain resilience support, including backing for UK manufacturing of construction products.
“The Autumn Budget is a pivotal moment for our industry,” Paterson said. “We understand the need for financial discipline, but if the government introduces policies that make houses more expensive or discourage buyers, it could derail the fragile recovery in homebuilding.”
The Budget is scheduled for 26 November.

It is understood he fell from a crane during the early hours. Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.
The HSE and Police Scotland deployed staff to the rig following the incident.
Valaris confirmed the fatality and said operations on the installation had been paused. In a statement, the company said it was supporting Mr Hulse’s family and that all other personnel on board had been accounted for.
The rig was drilling on the Shearwater field, operated by Shell. A Shell spokesperson said the company was “deeply saddened” by the death and was supporting Valaris.
A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
A fundraising page set up in Mr Hulse’s memory has raised more than £18,000. The organisers described him as someone who “always looked after his family and friends”, adding that money raised would go towards funeral costs and supporting his daughter.

A major shift in the UK equipment hire market has moved forward after the Competition and Markets Authority approved a new commercial agreement between HSS ProService Marketplace and Speedy Hire.The deal allows Speedy to join the HSS ProService Marketplace as a core supplier and shareholder. It brings together HSS ProService’s digital procurement platform with Speedy’s national fleet and operational network, creating what the companies describe as a fully integrated online marketplace for equipment, fuel and related services.
Speedy will replace The Hire Service Company on the platform. HSS ProService said the change will offer customers improved availability, clearer pricing and stronger control over procurement.
As part of the agreement, Speedy has taken a 10 per cent stake in HSS ProService Marketplace. The company will supply most core hire equipment, provide testing services, and transfer staff into the ProService business to increase operational capacity. HSS ProService Marketplace will also take on Speedy’s rehire business.
The move supports HSS ProService’s shift to an asset-light hybrid model, built around digital ordering and data-driven procurement tools. The company said the partnership will open new opportunities for suppliers linked to the platform.
Tom Shorten, CEO of HSS ProService Marketplace, said contractors want certainty and efficiency at a time when project margins are under pressure.
He said the partnership will give users a deeper fleet, a wider footprint and a simpler digital workflow. According to Shorten, the focus is on reducing phone calls, cutting administration and improving visibility of hire spend.
HSS ProService Marketplace is already one of Europe’s largest digital platforms for equipment hire. The company says closer collaboration with Speedy signals a wider shift towards online procurement models in the building services and maintenance sector.

Australia’s top scaffolding projects have been named at this year’s Australia’s Best Scaffolding Projects Awards.
The event, held during Scaff25, drew a record thirty nominations from across the country. Organisers say the strong field reflects continued growth and technical capability within the sector.
The awards highlight engineering precision, safety performance and innovation across industrial, civil and commercial environments.
Craneable scaffold takes top prize
Ausgroup Industrial Services won the year’s two major awards. Innovation in Scaffolding and Australia’s Best Scaffolding Project of the Year.
The company was recognised for a craneable scaffold delivered at the Hail Creek site in Queensland. The project addressed the risks of working inside confined Run of Mill bins by reversing the traditional approach.
The entire scaffold was pre-assembled inside a custom steel frame and lowered into position in one controlled lift.
The method removed almost all confined-space exposure. It reduced installation time and allowed millimetre-level placement in a high-risk environment. Engineers designed the structure to withstand vibration, dynamic forces and the irregular geometry of the bin.
Suspended scaffold recognised for work over water
Central Scaffolding & Rigging Services won Best Industrial Scaffolding Project of the Year. The company installed a suspended scaffold at a live operational wharf, where tidal movement and restricted access prevented any build from below.
Using Layher Allround, Flex Beam and tube-and-coupler systems, the team produced a balanced platform over open water. The design accounted for corrosion risks, tidal clearance and structural loading. Judges described it as a strong example of industrial planning and safe working near marine environments.
Civil award highlights heritage restrictions at Merri Creek
APS Industrial Services received Best Civil Scaffolding Project of the Year for its access system beneath the 1867 Merri Creek Bridge in Victoria. With no ability to fix into the bluestone structure or touch the waterway, APS developed a custom anchoring system mounted under the bridge deck.
The restricted location required rope access support and detailed environmental controls. Traffic above remained open throughout the works.
Granted Access won Best Commercial Scaffolding Project of the Year. The company wrapped a 40-metre heritage chimney in Collingwood, where only 700mm of space separated the structure from nearby apartment balconies.
A freestanding scaffold supported by a 10-kPa suspended gantry deck allowed remedial works without touching the fragile brickwork. The design followed two years of planning with structural engineers.
Small-scale award recognises suspended aluminium design
AN-CO Australia won Best Small-Scale Scaffolding Project of the Year for its access solution at Liberty Place in Sydney. The team delivered a fully suspended aluminium scaffold reinforced with steel and hung from lattice beams above the roofline. Rope access methods were used to install and remove the system. The work preserved the heritage facade and avoided drill fixings.
Tank swing-stage innovation earns ScafWest dual recognition
ScafWest received Best Aluminium and Swing Stage Project of the Year for its platform inside a fertiliser tank. The team assembled an 11-metre circular swing stage from curved aluminium trusses, with all components carried through a small manhole.
A multi-hoist lifting system allowed full 360-degree access inside the tank. The design was fully mocked up and load-tested before deployment.
Digital modelling approach secures design award
Scaffold Studio won Best Scaffold Design Project of the Year for its work at Reflections by the Sea. Using 3D laser scanning and ScaffPlan modelling, the team produced a digital twin of the site. This allowed load analysis and clash detection before installation.
The final solution was a cantilevered scaffold suspended above pools, balconies and public walkways. Counterweights, lifting rigs and tie systems formed part of the design.
Advanced mast climber system recognised at Collins Arch
Standard Access won Best Mast Climber Project of the Year for its work on Melbourne’s Collins Arch reclad programme. The hybrid system combined mast climbers, swing stages and tilting platforms to follow curved and negative-angle façades. The project was completed while the hotel and offices inside remained in use. Noise and privacy management formed part of the staging.
Sector marks year of technical progress
Organisers say this year’s awards highlight a high standard of work across the scaffolding sector. The projects span heritage protection, industrial access, digital engineering and complex façade works.
The Scaffolding Association Australia thanked entrants, judges and attendees for recognising the people and teams leading the industry forward.
