Thanks. Was expecting to be told plywood was overkill and hardboard would be fine, so good to hear otherwise. The boards are only screwed down where they'd been butchered and lifted for access, there's a couple of squeaks but they'll be taken care of easily enough.
Meant to mention that the new floorboard was bog-standard planed timber from Wickes. It's a first floor flat with a noticeable draught under the floor and no signs of moisture. Is that likely ok without any treatment?
@tbc I'll put down parquet-print lino and post pics. No one will be able to tell the difference.

I think it's totally up to you, I'm sure hardboard would be fine but others would know better than me

ftfy, it's a lonely struggle
Probably a world of difference between the materials in our respective countries (I'm in Canada) but flooring trades around here usually go with hardboard because it's dead flat and won't broadcast variations through the sheet flooring like plywood might.
That being said, I think it's more often closer to 5-7mm thick.

Looks like the boards have been screwed down underneath - so as long as they’re all nice and tight and not squeaking then lay whatever as the subfloor. I’d probably go for some 5mm ply screwed spanning the width of the hall
