What size/power boiler do I need to heat my house? ...will I need a new pump too?

Update: thanks for your reply Brown's Plumbing :) I've had my local plumber round and he agrees that I do not need a new boiler. Just a power flush and re-balance. That's great news as it will save me a few bob! Apparently the boiler and pump should be fine to heat my house. It's probably just a case that the extension and associated plumbing upset the balance in our system. I have a 4-bed house with 11 radiators, and 1 old Potterton boiler (Netaheat Profile 50e) downstairs. My house used to be a 3-bed with 8 radiators until we extended. Some of our radiators are just not getting hot. Is our boiler 'man enough' for the extra capacity of the house? Will I need a new pump too? My existing pump is a Grundfos UPS 15/50. Thanks
