I'm about to (planning to!) lay Bamboo flooring. I've lifted and removed the old flooring and exposed the floorboards. Can I lay the new Bamboo straight on to these (all flat and true) or do I need underlay? Also, as this will run through the kichn, do I need an underlay above the tiled floor or is adhesive sufficient?
Do I need underlay?

How do you plan to install your new floor? floating, nailing, glueing down? And in the same direction as your existing boards?

Same direction: install plywood first to prevent movement due to cupped or uneven existing floorboards.
Nailing down means no need for underlayment.
As for gluieng on tiles: what type of tiles are there? Are you sure they will be grease free?
