Replacing pipes?

I've got a three storey demi detached 120 square metre house
I've been quoted around £4K to upgrade all my pipes from 10mm to 28mm where possible
I live in the north west. Is this a normal price?

I'm assuming this is for your central heating system, and you are planning on installing a heat pump at some point.Having recently replumbed my heating system, partly to reduce the amount of pipework, and with an eye on a future HP, it is a surprising amount of work. I also used a lot more copper pipe than I was expecting..£4K isn't totally unreasonable - As always, get a couple more quotes.Her courage will change the world.
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.1 -

I'll want to get Jaga Strada radiators too but that's not in this quote0 -
