30 Old Street project launch – cladding remediation London
Located in the heart of Islington, 30 Old Street represents one of TP Construction London’s most significant façade remediation projects. Acting as Principal Contractor, our team is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of the building’s external wall system — stripping back all combustible materials and replacing them with high-performance, A-rated alternatives.
Following detailed Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEW), we developed a precision design & remediation strategy to remove existing cladding and insulation across the full height of the building. The new system incorporates mineral wool insulation and a compliant brick slip façade, restoring the building’s character while achieving the highest modern fire safety standards.
Our approach is built on three pillars: compliance with current UK building regulations and fire safety law; aesthetic continuity — ensuring the finished building looks as good as it did before, only safer; and expertise, with our specialist team managing every stage from initial strip-back through to final brick slip installation.
