VELUX Skylight Installation in Mooroolbark, VIC
One VELUX FS M04 fixed skylight was supplied and installed above a kitchen, with Pale Eucalypt custom Colorbond flashing, a deep framed-and-plastered shaft and a matching VELUX solar honeycomb blind.
Local project overview
A fixed skylight planned around an existing Mooroolbark kitchen
This skylight installation in Mooroolbark was a complete supply-and-install project rather than a product-only sale. The kitchen had a flat plaster ceiling with a substantial roof cavity above it, so the job required roof set-out, a framed internal shaft and plaster finishing as well as the skylight and roof flashing.
Pre-installation photos also show existing ductwork and electrical services in the roof cavity. The documented scope required these services to be relocated by the customer before the plaster stage, allowing the skylight shaft to be formed through the planned ceiling area.
The finished photographs show a wide, clean plaster opening below the M04 skylight, creating a new overhead daylight source over the kitchen.
Before & completed
From a standard kitchen ceiling to a finished skylight shaft
The photos were taken from different positions, so they are shown side by side rather than as an artificial comparison slider.
Existing kitchen ceiling
The original flat plaster ceiling before the new roof-to-ceiling skylight shaft was formed.
New overhead daylight opening
The completed kitchen view shows the finished plaster shaft and fixed VELUX skylight above the work area.
Planning the shaft
Existing roof-cavity services had to be considered before plastering
The roof-cavity inspection shows timber framing, insulation, wiring and a flexible duct in the area above the kitchen.
This matters because the invoice specifically records that ducts, pipes and electrical wires were to be relocated by the customer before the plaster stage. The final shaft therefore depended on coordinating the skylight position with both the roof structure and existing services.
Products installed

Skylight
A fixed VELUX skylight was selected for this kitchen project. The documented M04 unit measures 780 × 980 mm and is part of the VELUX pitched-roof fixed skylight range.
Blind
The project also included one VELUX solar honeycomb blind matched to the M04 fixed skylight, together with installation of the blind.
Roof preparation & flashing
Custom Colorbond flashing integrated with the corrugated metal roof
Project photos show the roof opening cut through the existing corrugated metal sheeting, followed by the fitted VELUX unit and a broad custom flashing tray. The invoice specifies Pale Eucalypt Colorbond for the flashing.
Opening and roof structure exposed
The cut-out shows the existing corrugated roof profile, insulation and timber structure before the skylight was installed.
Custom metal flashing around the M04
The close roof view shows the fixed skylight sitting within the custom Colorbond flashing system specified for this job.

Installation process
How this Mooroolbark skylight project came together
Room and cavity assessment
The kitchen ceiling, roof cavity, timber framing and existing services were inspected before the final opening was formed.
Roof opening and skylight
The corrugated roof was opened for the M04 unit and the fixed VELUX skylight was installed at the selected position.
Custom roof flashing
A Pale Eucalypt Colorbond flashing system was fitted around the skylight to suit the existing metal roof.
Shaft and internal finish
The deep internal opening was framed, plastered and sanded, with final painting left to the customer. The solar honeycomb blind was also included in the job.
Finished interior
A deep plaster shaft finished around the fixed skylight
The final close-up shows the skylight at roof level with a much wider opening at ceiling level. This creates a clean transition through the substantial roof cavity while keeping the finished kitchen ceiling neat.
The invoice allowed for framing and plastering through a roof cavity up to 1300 mm. Painting was not part of the documented scope.

For homeowners comparing a VELUX skylight installer near Mooroolbark, real completed-project photos are useful because they show both the roof work and the finished room rather than only the product itself.
