Robbie Williams is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with his neighbour, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, over his new "super basement" project, according to reports.
The two music stars are said to have been at odds over Robbie's underground renovation, which includes an indoor pool, gym, and underground passage to the main house. The construction of the iceberg basement at the £17million London home finally got underway in May, and it seems that Robbie is doing everything he can to respect his neighbour's wishes.
The work is expected to take 46 weeks to complete. Robbie, who is filmed in the incredible property in his new Netflix documentary, and his team have introduced various measures to ensure that the noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.

Robbie's team has also been instructed to use only "hand tools weighing no more than 9kg" at any given time, in order to minimise potential vibration from building works. In addition, Robbie’s team is using 19th-century hand tools and £50,000 monitoring devices to ensure that the noise is kept to a minimum for the work on the Kensington property.
Robbie, who is no stranger to making big changes, sold not one but two of his luxurious homes this year, making a total of £44.95 million in sales. The first to go was his seven-bedroom Wiltshire estate, which was sold for £6.75million in January. Next up was the family's ten-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion, which was snapped up by rapper Drake for a whopping £38.2 million in March.
