Due to water damage from a slow leak, I have had to take up the floor in my girlfriend's bathroom. I now want to find the materials to renew it but not sure where to source them. The subfloor has several layers, I assume this is for soundproofing as it's a first floor flat.
The floor layers are (top to bottom):
The replacement wood should be easy enough to find. It's the layers in bold that I'm not sure where/what to buy. The gypsum product is labeled "British Gypsum" but looking at their product line I can't see anything that exactly fits the purpose.
The insulation looks like standard fibreglass stuff, though obviously not as deep and more dense. Is there a specific product for flooring?
Photo shows the gypsum and insulation layers:
The other factor is that the floor is at least 10 years old so there may now be another solution.
Any advice would be appreciated

- 4 mm ply/hardboard
- 18 mm T&G chipboard
- ~17 mm gypsum product
- 25 mm insulation
- 18 mm OSB board
- 9" x 1.5" joists
