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.

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.

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

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.

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

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