Universal beam calculation
Remember the corus tables quote buckling resistances for effective length
which can be a good bit more than actual length, this is dependent on end
conditions and wether the load is considered destabilising or not. Often but
not always lateral torsional buckling is the limiting factor in beam design,
which is why UC sections are commonly used. Would suggest for the sake of
probably £200 or so you get the calcs done by an engineer.
