retired builder, seemed more concerned that I might damage the ash-felt by walking on the roof.

I think he is spot on there. Even if you put some sort of base support on the ashfelt you will eventually get leaks. Your plan of knocking on a few doors to let them know what you are doing is a great idea. If all are unconcerned, rubber roofing is good, then get additional pads put down for any walkway but a roofing specialist is the person to ask. All the best.

Sorry, but my Asperger's has got the better of me.  I've been resisting it for some time now.

It is "asphalt", for FSM's sake, not "ash felt" or "ashfelt".

Hmmm, FSM... Female Seeking Male? Free School Meals?

Unlike me, you have clearly not yet been touched by His Noodly Appendage.

Thanks for the feedback. Of course, the last thing I want is a leak. I'll get some professional advice as you suggest.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't sure, and the seller pronounced it "ASH felt", which threw me a bit!
