velux on flat ceiling

Yes, no problem, you just have a plasterboard splay to the cheeks of the window eg
Its called a lightwell.
Thankyou, another question, Can this style be fitting to a 12.5 roof pitch.
I was told the window has to be raised, hence looking at the window from outside it'll will have a steeper pitch than the roof. Is this correct and safe to do.

Minimum pitch for a standard velux is 15 degrees, so yes the advice you were given is correct.
Standard rooflights can be installed in a flat roof albeit with an upstand eg http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=246041
A joiner can put a kerbing together for you velux amongst others sell prefabricated upstands to suit the pitch required.
cost would depend on the window size.
