The complexity of your roof will ultimately determine the cost. For example, if each guttering run is straight, then it will be reasonably less expensive than if it runs around corners. Fairly easy to understand.
Guttering is an important part of any property as it obviously has a specific job. Redirecting rainwater from the roof into the drains is essentially what it is there to do. Protecting all external elements from excess water (windows, doors etc) to prevent potential damp issues, It aids the drainage in taking the water away from the building to reduce the chance of flooding and excess surface water.

What makes Lindab more expensive? Well, the main thing that affects the price of Lindab guttering is the material. Being a made from steel instead of UPVC is one of the main factors, but the range of finishes/colours and sizes being so large also affects the price. The brand is also one of the strongest on sale today, with limited rivals in the field.
Primarily the best way to keep the cost of new guttering down is to reduce wastage. Measuring accurately and being precise with your quantities will prevent having a lot of material left over and will also save extra items needing to be ordered. This in turn will likely incur extra cost and inevitably cause delays to the project.
