How to fit a Velux Roof Window

Speedy

I enjoy your videos but must point out that the slating over the front apron is incorrect.
The positioning of the window MUST be co-ordinated with the coursing of the slates.


The slate cover over the front apron is insufficient as risks leaking.

Great but i use silicone under slate just in case .

Robin talks really posh in this video.

I had to double up roof rafters either side of the window

How come the flashing doesn't seal against the sub-roof? Wouldn't that be a safer way to seal up the window?

The roof underneath structure it is wrong, no place for water to run straight down

... you forgot to install the insulation framer, which gives you another couple of years of guarantee.

Brilliant video ❤️👍🏽

Great job Robin with Posh voice Regards Malcolm

How olds this and What drills are you using there robin??

Brilliant👍😉👍

How much with fitting per window

Prefer keylite windows to fit they come with a expanding seal

Where’s the fookin underfelt collars?

The new velux models can’t be weathered with the underlay because of where the mounting brackets are situated near the corners. Really sick and tired of fixing these types of fook ups when the underfelt collars only cost 30 quid...

Rant over

They've changed the brackets since I last fitted a Velux, some years ago now!
The brackets used to be only on the sides, not the corners, and screwed directly to the adjacent rafters, not to the batten height. I guess they call it continuous development.
Always amazed at the excellent packaging though.

This is a very small roof, having 4-10 Velux is just a non sense

Ur a twat robin do you recall you working with me for jones bros

I know little about this, but everytime I see these in a roof I think a chance for leaks. I am not a construction guy so it may be a naive statement. Rubber seals go on windows, don't they? Anyway, Robin does brilliant work, so I am sure it would last a long time if he was involved.

Just wait until you fit a "New Generation" one. Instructions are awful. Find a video like this if you can.

My eyesight has deteriorated watching this.

Great video clear instructions 👌 excellent hanging a top hung 1180x980 tomorrow

I want this verluxe window inside open or outside opening part please put me message
