Don’t look brick in anger
NOEL GALLAGHER is taking a builder to court over what he reckons is a Blunderwall.
The Oasis star wants £54,349 – and 5p – from firm Sheldon Andrews, who he is claiming messed up renovations at his £2.5million mansion.
Part of the complaint is believed to involve work on internal walls.
A pal of the star told me: “Noel may have millions but he’s not a mug. He’s not going to let someone come along and get the better of him. He’s very canny with money and £50,000 is a lot of cash. He is pretty confident he can win and has got a good team of lawyers.”
Noel decided to have the house refurbished after ex-wife MEG MATHEWS left four years ago. She stripped the six-bedroom home of most of its furnishings after their bitter split. Noel later moved out temporarily too, buying himself a mews home in London’s Marylebone while the refurb was carried out. He is desperate to move back into his pad near Chalfont St Giles, Bucks, with PR girlfriend SARA MACDONALD. But he may have been tempted – in the words of his famous song – to look back in anger at some of the building work. Noel sold his famous North London pad, Supernova Heights, in 1998 and moved to the country to get away from the capital’s rock’n'roll lifestyle and build a family life with Meg. They had married the year before.
The legal action is due to be heard by His Honour Judge Richard Seymour at the Technology and Construction Court in London. No one from Sheldon Andrews was available for comment last night.
