It is a largely a cosmetic solution, hiding the damp problems

dry lining, dramatically increasing condensation.
The phenomena
is known as interstitial condensation, which means condensation that
occurs within the fabric of the wall or roof, IE between or within the
layers of materials
Over time this will be a source of mould
and fungal growth which is both unhealthy and very smelly. So this is
mould and fungus inside your walls and roof.
