Local builders in Hitchin.

About Us

To provide great living spaces for people to live their lives in.

Hewitt Day Construction was founded by Chris Day and Ashley Hewitt – two lifelong Hertfordshire locals with a passion for building. Friends who trained together in construction college, they teamed up to establish the company in 2006. Their vision was simple: to provide great living spaces for people to live their lives in (a mission we still follow today).

Our Story & Team

Chris and Ashley bring a combined 40+ years of experience in the building trade. Both are qualified in Construction and the Built Environment and started their careers working for reputable local builders. After honing their skills on projects ranging from new builds to restorations, they launched HewittDay to offer clients a more personal, hands-on building service.

Chris Day – Co-Founder & Director: Chris is a certified bricklayer and all – around building expert. He oversees site work and ensures every brick, beam, and detail is done to the highest standard. Clients appreciate Chris’s friendly approach and how he goes the extra mile to deliver perfection.

Ashley Hewitt – Co Founder & Director: Ashley is also a certified bricklayer and specialises in project planning and client communication. From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, Ashley makes sure you’re informed and happy. (Include small headshot photos of Chris and Ashley next to their bios to humanize the content. – still haven’t got this, despite trying for months!)

Our team has grown over the years to include a network of trusted tradespeople – from plumbers and electricians to roofers and landscapers – who share our commitment to quality. We may be small, but that’s our strength: we’re flexible, attentive, and treat our clients like neighbours. In fact, many of our customers
come through referrals and word of mouth in the community.

Our Approach & Values

At HewittDay, we believe in integrity, transparency and craftsmanship. What does that mean for you? It means when we say we’ll do something, we do it – and we do it well. We provide detailed quotes, so you know exactly what’s included. We respect your home, keeping work areas tidy and minimising disruption. And we approach every project, big or small, with the same dedication to excellence.

We’re small enough to care, but experienced enough to handle large, complex projects. Need a simple porch extension? We’ll take care of it with pride. Planning a complete home remodel or a two-story addition? We have the project management know-how to execute it smoothly, coordinating all trades from start to finish.

Communication is key to our approach. You’ll deal directly with us (the owners), not a rotating cast of supervisors. We’re on-site and available to answer your questions anytime. This personal involvement ensures quality control and that your vision isn’t lost in translation.

Over the years, we’ve completed numerous projects across Hitchin, Letchworth, Stevenage, and surrounding areas, building a reputation for reliability. We’re proud that many clients return to us for new projects or recommend us to friends. (Check out our Testimonials page to see what they say in their own words!)

New for 2025 – Landscaping Services

We’re excited to share that our services have expanded to include professional landscaping and outdoor construction. With this new addition, we can truly deliver a home makeover from the ground up – inside and out. While it’s a new arm of our business, it’s run with the same values and expertise you expect from Hewitt Day. (See our Landscaping page for details on how we can transform gardens and driveways alongside your building projects.)

Our Promise

When you choose HewittDay Construction, you’re not just hiring builders – you’re partnering with a team that genuinely cares about your project. We promise to be honest, diligent and respectful. We understand investing in your home can be stressful; our goal is to make the experience enjoyable and the results truly rewarding. From the first meeting to the final handshake, your satisfaction is our top priority.
