Typical applications and suitability
This flashing kit is designed specifically for SK06 VELUX roof windows measuring 114×118cm installed on pitched roofs. It is suitable for new installations or replacement of existing flashings on residential and commercial pitched roof projects. The recessed flashing design works well on roofs with standard pitch angles and is compatible with common roof covering materials including slate, tile, and sheet materials. Ensure your roof window is the correct SK06 size before ordering, as this flashing is sized specifically for this model.

Installation process and on-site guidance
Follow the detailed installation instructions provided with the kit carefully. The flashing components must be positioned to create a continuous seal between the window frame and the roof structure. Proper alignment is critical to ensure water runs away from the window frame and does not pool or penetrate the roof. Install the flashing before or during roof covering installation, depending on your roofing sequence. Ensure all components are securely fixed and sealed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Take time to check that the recessed design sits flush with the roof surface to avoid creating any lips or edges that could trap water.
- Follow all instructions provided in the kit
- Install before or during roof covering application
- Ensure proper alignment and secure fixing
- Check that flashing sits flush with roof surface
- Verify continuous sealing around window frame
Maintenance and weather resistance
Once installed, the recessed flashing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the seal around the window frame, particularly after severe weather, to ensure no water ingress has occurred. Clear any debris, moss, or lichen from the roof surface around the flashing to maintain effective water drainage. Check that the flashing remains securely fixed and that the seal has not been compromised. The recessed design minimises exposed edges, reducing the risk of damage and helping to maintain long-term weather resistance.
- Inspect seal regularly for signs of water ingress
- Clear debris and moss from roof surface
- Verify flashing remains securely fixed
- Check seal integrity after severe weather
