The site is free. Keeping it that way isn't.
If SiteKiln has saved you a bill, a court date, or a fight with HMRC — and you want to chip in to keep it free for the next person — here's how.
Sponsorship from firms that want to reach UK tradespeople pays for most of what keeps this site running. If you're not a firm, the occasional donation helps cover the rest. Either is fine. So is just using the site and telling a mate.
496 guides. 229 templates. 42 tools. 28 reference cards. No paywall. No login to read. No "enter your email to continue." No premium tier coming in six months.
We built SiteKiln because the information construction workers need to protect themselves — their rights, their pay, their safety — was scattered across gov.uk, ACAS, HSE and law firm blogs written for other lawyers. Not for the people actually stood on site wondering what to do next.
We don't think the answer to that problem is another subscription. The guides are free because the 22-year-old apprentice who's just been told "we can't pay you until the client pays us" shouldn't have to pay £9.99/month to find out that's illegal.
That will never change.
How SiteKiln is funded
Industry sponsorship
Category-exclusive sponsorship from brands that serve construction — insurance brokers, training providers, tool suppliers, accountancy firms. One sponsor per section. Clearly labelled. No editorial control. More on how sponsorship works →
No venture capital. No investor pressure. No pivot to a paid model. Just sponsorship from brands that want to reach the people who use this site every day.
The free way to support us
Here's what helps the most:
Share a guide.
Next time a mate asks "can they actually do that?" — send them the SiteKiln link instead of guessing. WhatsApp, text, email, doesn't matter. One share puts the site in front of someone who needs it.
Print a reference card.
Stick it on the cabin wall. When someone asks where it came from, they'll find us.
Leave us a suggestion.
If there's a situation we haven't covered, or something we've got wrong — tell us. Every "what about...?" makes the site better. Email us: hello@kilnguides.co.uk
Follow us.
