VELUX Fixed Skylight Installation in Lynbrook
Central Skylights supplied and installed one VELUX FS C04 fixed skylight for a residential bathroom in Lynbrook. The documented scope included EDW flashing for the pitched tiled roof, single-storey installation, framing and a deep plaster shaft finished ready for painting.
A complete fixed-skylight installation for the bathroom
This Lynbrook project joined a roof-mounted VELUX FS unit to the bathroom below through a newly framed and plastered light shaft.
Bathroom context before work and the finished skylight shaft
The available photographs do not form a matched before-and-after pair from the same camera position. Instead, they show the original bathroom context and a clear final view of the completed shaft.
Original flat bathroom ceiling
The pre-installation photograph records the bathroom ceiling with a recessed downlight and round exhaust fan before the new light shaft was formed.
A direct path for roof-level daylight
The completed splayed shaft widens toward the bathroom ceiling and frames the fixed skylight above. The invoice scope included plastering and sanding, with painting outside the installation work.
How the Lynbrook skylight installation came together
The selected photographs document the genuine work sequence from opening the ceiling and tiled roof through to the completed VELUX flashing and internal shaft.
Ceiling opening prepared
The flat plaster ceiling was opened to establish the shaft position and expose the roof space above.
Roof space exposed
The opening revealed the timber roof structure and existing services that the new shaft would pass through.
Tiled roof opened
Tiles were removed over the selected area, exposing the battens, framing and ceiling cavity for the roof-mounted unit.
Opening refined for the skylight
The roof opening was prepared within the tiled field before the fixed skylight and dedicated EDW flashing were fitted.
FS skylight and EDW flashing installed
The completed roof work shows the VELUX unit integrated with the profiled tiles, including the shaped lower flashing apron.
Deep shaft completed
The internal opening was framed, lined, plastered and sanded to create the finished connection between the bathroom ceiling and skylight.
A long shaft from the flat ceiling to the pitched roof
The invoice allowed for framing and plastering through a roof cavity up to 1500 mm. The photographs show a substantial vertical separation between the bathroom ceiling and the roof-mounted skylight, resolved with a wide splayed shaft.

What the completed installation adds to the bathroom
Roof-level daylight
The completed shaft provides a direct opening for daylight to travel from the pitched roof into the bathroom below.
Fixed, uncluttered glazing
The FS model is a fixed skylight, with no opening controls or electrical components required for operation.
Splayed shaft design
The angled shaft walls widen toward the ceiling opening, creating a clean transition through the deep roof cavity.
Tiled-roof, flashing and shaft workmanship
