In a recent programme of "Grand Designs" it was stated that UK
builders building new houses tend to use hammers to drive in nails

Is this true at all?

I don't know about new build, but all the council owned houses
round the corner from me were re-roofed recently, and there were
definitely nail guns in use then.
