nick, there is no upper limit specified in UK law, but it does state that working conditions should be "reasonable".
So, what will become an UNreasonable temperature on a building site may well be different to that in an office environment, bearing in mind that all employers operating in the UK have the common law obligation to their employees called a "duty of care".

Nick ,
join the real world.
there is no upper or lower temps on the job.
ask the guys in Antarctica or Saudi or Mexico or any place outside an office building.
you signed up for the job , you weren't sold in to it. don't like or can't stand the work conditions - leave. you don't got an 'S' branded on your cheek.

not a legal one
as you rightly pointed out there is a legal minimum temp the work place has to reach within 1 hour of start time, but there is no maximum.
there are lots of world health recommendations, but nothing legally binding im afraid.

It is illegal for it to be below 16 degrees Centigrade but there is no upper limit unfortunately. Apparently they are trying to get this changed though!

yes but not many places reach that high. see your union rep for details, failing that ring up a union and they should be able to tell you
