is there damp penetrating the wall from below or outside? if not you could create a stud wall just off the existing wall, cut kingspan between the studs and plasterboard over.

there doesnt seem to be any damp anywhere, a local builder told me " just stick some foil backed board on it and skim over, will be fine "
surely that cant be right ?? cheers..
