You can get bigger ones, 63A for example and I think double that too. I expect the latter would be a big bastard though.
Yes - I did mention consideration should be given to RCD protection 9and earthing, also echoed by Andrew).
Interestingly, the Briggs and Stratton transfer switch contains its own RCD.
Either have to incorporate an inline RCD into the generator lead, stick an RCD plug on the boiler feed (less desireable if the circuit is already RCD protected) or if you laid in a second socket and a dedicated feed cable to an outside hookup point, stick the RCD in that (or use and RCD socket).
