We've had 3 large velux installed above each other up the slope of the
roof above a new staircase.


you would need at least 100mm overlap for a flashing, 150mm ideally.


I have just checked mine, which I put in 20 years ago. It has 100mm
overlap, and I can see a minimum of two layers at all points in the
flashing.

hi thanks for thoughts - when you say "two layers" what are those two
layers of?
Presumably velux flashing (from the kit) around the window and what's
the other layer? felt, lead,....?

cheers
