Most likely possible! Have a look for my recent posts in the DIY thread; I had new pine boards in my flat. On reflection I'd probably go for reclaimed boards next time, or parquet blocks on a ply subfloor (maybe engineered or vinyl tile in the kitchen). There's loads of options. A company called Surface Plus was recommend to me (after I'd had the work done) and next time around I'd probably take advice from them or similar before proceeding.
Hopefully someone on here can recommend a firm more local to you.

Are the existing boards reasonably flat (no massive peaks/troughs)? Because if so cork underlay + engineered wood would probably work. If massive peaks and troughs, I would probably rectify that by replacing individual boards/shimming/trimming, rather than trying to fix it by adding more stuff on top.
We are going to go for the above (levelling the subfloor by replacing boards) + cork + bamboo.

Thanks both . Was also wondering whether ply and engineered wood was necessary, and whether just new solid boards could be laid
