Replacing capping strip in Alkmaar

At this home in Alkmaar, we carried out work on the capping strip on top of the brick roof edge. The project photos show both the existing metal capping and the renewed situation during the work. The long brick roof edge abuts a flat roof and requires a suitable finish on the top side. Replacing such a component can be part of a broader roof renovation in Alkmaar, whereby various parts of the existing roof are addressed.

New metal cover strip installed

The existing covering has been replaced by a new metal capping strip that runs along the top of the masonry roof edge. The photos show how individual sections join together to form a single continuous finish. The new capping strip follows the full length and shape of the roof edge. The corners and ends have also been included in the finish. This type of metal roof detail falls under the lead and zinc work around a roof. The adjacent flat roof and the existing roofing were retained during the work.

Sleek finish of the entire roof edge

After the replacement, the top of the masonry roof edge has been fitted with a new metal capping along its entire visible length. The various sections join together, and at the ends, the capping strip is shaped to fit around the roof edge.

From the flat roof, it is clearly visible how the new finish runs across the wall as a single continuous line. In doing so, precisely the element that was central to this project has been renewed, without designating other work on the roof as completed.
