Overview

• Scaffolding appeared on Saturday at the Warrington, Cheshire home of Mike Keeling, 56, and Leanne Smith, 45, despite neither ordering any work.
• Ring camera video shows three men unloading from an unbranded flatbed as one pressed the doorbell and said, “Hello, Chinese takeaway.”
• The workers wore no identifiable logos and left no company signage, and the couple’s canvassing of neighbors and local scaffolders has produced no lead.
• The setup blocks the household’s electric car charging point and places a platform by a bedroom window, raising security and cost concerns.
• Local firms have offered to remove the structure, sometimes for the materials, but the couple declined over ownership worries; the scaffolding remains as of Sept. 9, with past police warnings about rogue scaffolders cited for context.
