2yrs ago had a porch built. this year noticed when gets cold outside the wall hall wet patches on walls especially in corners. dont think any insulation was put in. its single block exterior and plasterboard interior. is there anyway i can insulate it or will i have to rip down board and redo it with insulation.

Your description indicates that you have condensation issues within the porch.
Condensation is not normally a problem in a porch so long as there is some ventilation and that the porch is similar in temperature to the outside.

However, once a porch is treated as you would habitable space then problems will arise with inadequate ventilation/insulation.

Is there an external door separating the porch from the main dwelling? Is the porch heated?
 
thanks for reply. there is a door seperating porch from main house and it does have a radiator and a window. dont think its insulated and only happens when really cold outside
