In a recent programme of "Grand Designs" it was stated that UK
builders building new houses tend to use hammers to drive in nails
rather than use nail guns.
Is this true at all?

Recent ? Have I missed the start of a new series ?

Recently shown on my TV. It's probably quite old.
It's quite common here in NZ to make the wall framing accurately in a
nice dry factory and stick it all together on site quickly wih
nailguns.

Grand Designs Series 2
Episode 2: Sussex

This programme follows recently married couple Jane Warren and Willem
Mulder as they build their dream home in Sussex. Inspired by houses of
New England, Jane bought a plot of land including a derelict bungalow
which she demolished to replace with an imported American Kit House.
Experts in this pioneering build method fly in from America to get the
project started. After the team return to the States, the build
progresses in the hands of a British workforce who have to adapt their
skills to this new building specification.
