Real skylight project in Pascoe Vale South

The job focused on a clean replacement, correct flashing for the tiled roof, a neat interior shaft finish and practical light control with a VELUX solar honeycomb blind.
Project summary
Before and after
This was a replacement project, so the strongest comparison is the old bedroom skylight and roof position against the completed VELUX skylight and custom flashing. The photos below are real job photos from this Pascoe Vale South installation.

Why this job matters
Older skylights can date a room, reduce the quality of daylight and make future finishing work harder. This Pascoe Vale South project shows how a single bedroom skylight replacement can improve the look of the ceiling, bring in cleaner daylight and make the room feel more finished without turning the page into a generic gallery.
Better daylight
The new fixed skylight brings natural light into the bedroom from above, helping brighten the room without relying only on wall windows.
Clean interior finish
The shaft was framed, plastered and sanded, giving the room a neater ceiling line ready for final painting.
Roof-specific flashing
The tiled roof required careful roof work and custom flashing around the new VELUX skylight.
Completed project gallery
