Hi can anyone tell me if the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 30kw comes with a wireless thermostat and is this boiler goor for a small two bedroom bungalow with six radatiors?

Controls have to be ordered separately. 6 radiators will need about 7kW max, probably less

So is the heating company reccomending an oversized boiler? Or can it be set at a lower KW?

Assuming it's the combi...combi boilers are sized for hot water demand and are always a compromise for heating. It modulates down to 3.3kW which isn't the best on the market but isn't terrible.

Yes its for hot water aswell. What boiler would you reccomend? It needs to fit in a small hot press so roughly the same size as the one i mentioned.

Vokera Pinnacle 30C. Stainless steel heat exchanger, better modulation so better real-world efficiency, OpenTherm compliant so you can use OpenTherm controls (I'd suggest the EPH CP4i) rather than having to use the manufacturer's own controls to get the best efficiency from it. More parameters available to set it up to the system it's fitted to, 12 year warranty, and about £500 cheaper. Or even the 35C, which is about £50 more and will give you better hot water performance, assuming your incoming water main is up to running it
