Boiler sizing

Hi

I have a question re. sizing.

I'm putting in a boiler into a large "games room". There is minimal hot water demand (1 kitchen sink, 1 WC basin).

I quoted for a Worcester 24 junior or a Glow Worm Flexicom 24cx.

However, having another look today, I wondered whether these were big enough as there are 5 x old cast iron school rads (9 columns, 300mm high x 1400mm), plus there will be 5 new rads (3 x 600x1200 dbl, 1 600x800 dbl, 1 600x600 sgl).
I've approximated the size of the rads at 21kW.

I think these are OK as the HW is minimal, but when I put into Worcester's website "find a boiler" 4-5 beds and 1 bath as a comparison, it comes up with a 30 or 37CDi.

Any opinions welcome

Regards,

Graham
