A pal of mine who works for a skip hire company was telling me about the high cost for builders wanting to get rid of old plasterboard. I suggested this could lead to yet more fly tipping but, apparently, some builders are getting rid of it by putting it into the cavity of walls. Does this seem likely ?

If it saves them money then unscrupulous builders may do anything to save money ... I heard that whilst they were building the Titanic and other ships they'd weld workers inside bulk heads just to save money on the wages !!!
That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Out in the open now - not likely to catch on !
I'm somewhat surprised they put it in writing, but that's the kind of reason I wouldn't buy a Barratt home (similarly with many other new house builders).
The document wasn't meant to become public knowledge but was leaked. Some house builders (mainly the ones that build on a smaller scale) still have a bit of pride left, unfortunately money & profit are what it's all about nowadays, especially with Barratt and the other big ones. With their business methods and the way they take the public for fools make me agree with Andrew wholeheartedly.

Thank goodness I had my building work done by my Brother-in-Law's company. It is a small outfit, he wouldn't want to upset me and his men wouldn't cross him so a good job well done.

... or a good idea for Public Servants claiming expenses for watching Adult Films !!!!
The other convenient space to leave crap in is between floorboards & the ceiling below. Usually flammable materials like wood-shavings, the tongues split off lifted floorboards, oily rags etc and usually right next to the ceiling-rose connection with the loose wire....
