Batton with 2x2 battens and add 50mm kingspan between with plasterboard over, will help no end. is there a flat roof or a pitched roof above? if pitched, is there access? Is it insulated?

Put a little bit of expanding foam in the gap and when it sets trim it off just below the surface and apply a skim of easy fill over top, sand back and decorate.
