Dry Lining Gap

    Hi,
    I had my house dry-lined a few years ago with 50-60mm Xtratherm board. The house was built in 9 inch block on the flat with no insulation just plasterboard bonded straight to the blocks. The dry-lining has made a huge difference along with new windows an doors.
    Anyway I have a slight problem. My box room upstairs has developed a dampness/mould problem. The boxroom sticks out at the front of the house around 8-10 inches. The front wall of the room was drylined but there was a gap at either side with 4-6 inches of wall still exposed.
    I had a new high output stove installed last year and the house is now very warm and it appears that the un-insulated wall section in the box room is getting damp and has developed mould.
    Is there any thin wall insulation product that I could use to stop this? I don't really want to have to get a 50mm slap added and get it plastered.
