Write for Us: Guest Post Guidelines for Skelair Readers
Write for Us if you can explain construction, engineering, drilling, quarrying, site safety or home renovation clearly for a UK audience. Skelair accepts a limited number of guest posts that are useful to readers first and to the author or brand second. This page sets out what we publish, what we expect and how to submit a pitch.
What We Publish
We are looking for original, practical articles that answer a real question. Good guest posts are specific, carefully written and honest about what they do not cover.
Accepted topics
We welcome articles in these areas: drilling rigs and equipment, drilling tools and consumables, ground engineering and geotechnics, water well and geothermal drilling, mining and quarrying, construction machinery and plant hire, civil engineering and infrastructure, construction safety and regulations, home improvement and renovation, industrial and manufacturing, and energy and sustainability.
What we do not accept
We do not publish gambling, adult, payday loan, cryptocurrency promotion, pharmaceutical or other content outside our subject range. We also decline thin, rewritten or machine-spun text, and articles that exist only to carry a link.
Article Requirements
Every submission is judged on usefulness and quality, not on word count alone. The points below describe what editors look for.
Quality standards
Articles should be original, unpublished elsewhere and written in British English. A typical article runs between 1,200 and 2,000 words, uses clear headings and gives the reader something they can act on or understand better afterwards. Technical, legal and safety statements must be accurate and cautious, and sources should be available on request.
Formatting
Please use short paragraphs, descriptive subheadings and, where it helps, a table or a short list. Do not include a H1 heading, because the site adds the title automatically. Images must be your own or properly licensed, and you will need to confirm that you have the rights to use them.
Link Policy
Guest posts may include a small number of relevant links. Links must add value for the reader and point to reputable, on-topic pages. Anchor text should be natural and descriptive rather than a repeated exact-match phrase.
Sponsored and commercial content
Where a post is paid for or has a commercial relationship attached, we label it clearly and may mark links with the appropriate rel attributes. We reserve the right to edit, remove or reject links that do not meet these standards. Commercial options are explained on the Advertise page.
How to Submit a Pitch
Email contact@skelair.com with the subject line "Guest post pitch". Include your proposed title, a short outline, a line about your background, and the website you represent, if any. We aim to reply within a few working days, and we may suggest changes to the topic or angle before commissioning.
What happens next
If we accept your pitch, we will confirm the topic, the deadline and any specific requirements. After you submit the draft, the editorial team reviews it for accuracy, clarity and fit with our Editorial Policy. We may edit for style and length, and we will tell you before publication if substantial changes are needed.
Conclusion
If you would like to Write for Us, focus on a clear topic, solid accuracy and genuine usefulness to UK readers. A concise, well-targeted pitch sent to contact@skelair.com is the best way to start, and we look forward to reading it.
