No, they will need 35A. Better off running individual circuits, 16A MCB with 2.5mm² to a 13A fcu for each heater. If you do this way there is also room for expansion should you require a larger heater. WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? :(
 
He's shouting so we can hear him all the way from Ipswich.

CAN YOU 'EAR ME MOTHER!

Can you calculate 2x3+2.5?
Can you divide the answer by 0.23?
Does it come to more or less than 32?

Don't forget that as this involves new circuits (and possibly fixed appliances), then unless longshore drift has pushed Ipswich north of the Tweed, you need to go and talk to these people before you start:
