Flashing flat roof skylights - please help

[phatboy]

Hi all,

I feel I've bitten off more than I can chew with fitting my EDPM roof. I am struggling with how to finish off the skylights.

I cut a big X where the skylight was going, and later glued the excess rubber up the sides. But now I need to deal with the corners, and because of the little kerb at the bottom, the pre-formed corners won't fit at all. I need to come up with something using a couple of small pieces of rubber to get the corner properly covered, especially where it meets the deck. (The little patches are temporary as water was getting in)

The Velux install guide doesn't help much, and the illustration they provide would seem to be with a more stretch / shapeable material in mind.

I'm honestly lost, and out of energy with it now! Can anyone help?



Thanks
Tim

Why have you already fitted the rooflight?

Fitted it as the instructions said it needs fully fitting and then flashing all the way up. The top glass can be easily removed.

Pre-formed corners don't work (as above), as the little kerb (?) at the base stops them.

Thanks, annoying thing being in Jersey is everything needs ordering in, so another 2 weeks probably!
