Hi, I am thinking of fitting a Velux to my house in France but all of the info I can find on DIY fitting refers to a standard roof with felt and battens. My roof is cement board covered (badly!) by tiles (picture below).

I have found a couple of threads about the dangers of asbestos etc (wise words - and I will get a builder to confirm if mine is or not before I attempt it) but there is not a great deal of info on the fitting process itself.
Other than expecting to have to construct some form of frame for it to sit in, I would like a bit more info if possible.

Has anyone done it and maybe have some photos you would not mind sharing?

Many thanks, Oscar
