BUSINESS THROUGH THE
ROOF FOR THREE INSTALLERS
Three firms have spoken of how their sales have taken
off since becoming Atlas roof installers and what it means
to be winners of the Atlas Installation of the Month.

Ltd, and Ewenny Home
Improvements are the latest
round of winners in the popular
competition and they have all
seen their businesses accelerate
since becoming installers of the
best looking glazed roof system
available on the market.
QKS Ltd was one of the first
firms to adopt the Atlas lantern
and the business has grown by
around 50% since, as owner Nick
Clipston explains: “We were keen
to broaden our portfolio and
began looking for an ultra-slim
roof lantern around five years
ago. Shortly after, we became an
Atlas installer because we think
the Atlas lantern is the best out
there. When we started, we
were installing just five lanterns
a year but now the number of
installations has multiplied and
our business has grown at a rapid
rate.”
The latest award-winning
project from QKS is a double
extension on a property in
Nassington, near Peterborough,
which features two Atlas lanterns.
“We originally installed one
extension, complete with Atlas
roof, and the homeowner was
so impressed that they decided
to add another extension on the
other side of their home,” says
Nick. “The Atlas roof was the
only one they wanted for phase
two. The completed project
looks incredible and the owners
are thrilled, so much so in fact
that they recommended us and
the Atlas roof to their parents.
We love working with the Atlas
lantern and we’re always proud to
complete installations that then
go on to win industry awards.”
Glasshouse Ltd
Ewenny Home Improvements
Becoming an Atlas installer
four years ago has helped
Bridgend-based Ewenny Home
Improvements grow by nearly
35%. Director Andrew Edwards
says: “We’ve installed almost
100 Atlas roofs now and they
are always an easy sell because
homeowners favour the low
sightlines of the product and trust
the Atlas brand name. The Atlas
roof has helped my business to
achieve profitable growth because
there are no compromises with
it – the design, performance and
ease of fitting are all second to
none.”
Ewenny completed an Atlas
lantern installation on a new
build property in Porthcawl that
recently won in the Installation
of the Month competition.
“We were tasked with making
a light, bright kitchen diner on
this property and the sleek Atlas
lantern and bi-folding doors
were the natural choice,” says
Andrew. “The finished result is
just what the client wanted, and
we’re delighted to win the Atlas
monthly competition. Being an
award-winning installer shows
potential customers that we only
do quality installations and we
always use the best products for
them.”
Cardiff-based Glasshouse Ltd
was undaunted by the previously
high standard of entries for the
Installation of the Month contest
and demonstrated this to full
effect by winning with its very
first entry. The acclaimed project
showed off the team’s impressive
design skills by showcasing three
Atlas Flat Rooflights to flood a
new kitchen/diner extension with
natural light. Since becoming
an Atlas installer, Glasshouse
has installed nearly 200 Atlas
roofs and has experienced a
particularly high demand for
these contemporary-style flat
rooflights.
Shaun Armstrong, owner of
Glasshouse Ltd, says: “Architects
and homeowners love the Atlas
Flat Rooflight and this installation
shows exactly why. The original
design for this extension
incorporated a mono pitched
lean to style roof but we knew we
could enhance the look further
by utilising a more bespoke look
QKS Ltd
and therefore switched to the
Atlas Flat Rooflights. We are
very proud to win an award for
this project, particularly as it
was the first time we’d entered.
This victory gives us a great head
start into the New Year and
we’re expecting 2019 to be really
successful for us.”
Every month, an installer will
win a £200 John Lewis voucher
and a £50 Majestic Wine voucher.
There’s also trade industry PR
and promotion through the Atlas
website, as well as entry into the
Atlas Installer of the Year award
finals. All entries submitted with
completed installation pictures
will receive a five metre tape
measure.
