Editorial Policy: How Skelair Creates and Checks Content
Our Editorial Policy explains how Skelair decides what to publish, how articles are researched and checked, and how we handle corrections and paid content. It exists so that readers, contributors and partners can see the standards we aim to meet.
Our Editorial Principles
Skelair publishes general information about construction, engineering, drilling, quarrying, site safety and home renovation. We aim to be accurate, clear and fair, and to be open about the limits of what a general article can say.
Accuracy first
We prefer a careful statement to an impressive one. Where a figure, threshold or date matters and we cannot verify it, we do not guess. Instead, we explain what the rule or measure is for and direct readers to the current official source.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made by the editorial team. Advertisers, sponsors and guest authors do not control our opinions, and payment does not change the conclusions of an article.
Usefulness
Every article should help a reader understand something or make a better decision. We avoid padding, repetition and content created only to fill space.
How Articles Are Produced
Each article follows a similar path, even when the subject varies.
Research and sourcing
Writers draw on official guidance, recognised standards, manufacturer documentation, professional bodies and reputable industry publications. For regulated topics, we describe the purpose and general approach of the rule and note that requirements can differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Editing and fact-checking
An editor reviews each draft for accuracy, clarity and balance, and checks factual claims against suitable sources. Technical, legal and safety wording is kept cautious, and we avoid presenting a rule as current unless we can confirm it.
Use of tools
We may use software to help with research, structure or proofreading. A person remains responsible for the final text, and no article is published without human review.
Sponsored and Guest Content
Some content on Skelair is commissioned or supplied by partners. We label sponsored content clearly and may mark commercial links with the appropriate attributes. Guest posts must meet the same quality standards as our own articles, and we may decline, edit or remove submissions that do not. See Write for Us and Advertise for details.
Affiliate relationships
Where an article contains links that may earn us a commission, we will say so. Commercial relationships do not determine which products or approaches we describe.
Corrections and Updates
We review articles when we learn of an error, when a rule or standard changes, or when the content becomes out of date. If you spot a mistake, email contact@skelair.com with the page address and a description of the issue. Where a correction is significant, we will update the article and, where appropriate, note the change.
Limits of Our Content
.
Our articles are general information and not professional advice. They cannot take account of your site, your design or your circumstances. For decisions that affect safety, structure, finance or legal rights, please consult a suitably qualified professional. Our Disclaimer gives more detail.
Conclusion
This Editorial Policy reflects what we try to do on every page: be accurate, stay independent, label commercial content and correct mistakes. If you think we have fallen short, please tell us at contact@skelair.com.
