       6 . A covering member ( 3 ) according to  claim 4 , characterised in that it includes a sealing member ( 10 ), arranged to provide a seal between the outlet body ( 2 ) and the covering member ( 3 ).  
   
   
       7 . A covering member ( 3 ) according to  claim 4 , characterised in that it is a pasting disc ( 11 ) arranged to be connected with the surface layer by pasting.  
   
   
       8 . A covering member ( 3 ) according to  claim 4 , characterised in that it comprises an adaptation disc ( 12 ) and a clamping ring ( 13 ), whereby the adaptation disc ( 12 ) has at least one third connection means ( 6 ) connectable with the clamping ring ( 13 ), arranged so that the surface layer can be clamped between the adaptation disc ( 12 ) and the clamping ring ( 13 ).  
   
   
       9 . A covering member ( 3 ) according to  claim 4 , characterised in that it constitutes a part of the surface material as such.  
   
   
       10 . Roof outlet ( 1 ) for a roof with a waterproof surface layer including: 
 an outlet body ( 2 ) with a drain channel ( 7 ), and    a covering member ( 3 ), the covering member ( 3 ) being connectable to said outlet body ( 2 ), characterised in a modular construction made possible by the outlet body ( 2 ) and the covering member ( 3 ) sharing a common interface, each having an interface portion ( 8 ,  9 ) that is complementary and connectable to the other, whereby the outlet body ( 2 ) is an outlet body ( 2 ) according to  claim 1 , the covering member ( 3 ) is a covering member ( 3 ) according to  claim 4  and thus can be chosen from a plurality of different covering members ( 3 ) each adapted to provide a seal with a different type of surface layer, so that the roof outlet ( 1 ) can be used in conjunction with a plurality of different surface layers.    
   
   
       11 . Method for sealing a roof outlet ( 1 ) to a waterproof surface layer of a roof, the method including:
