Capping stones are flat, often rectangular stones used to cap free-standing walls, parapet upstands, boundary or flat roof walls.
Capping stones perform an important role in preventing rainfall from penetrating the wall, ensuring its structural integrity and resilience to extreme weather conditions.
In addition to their practical protection benefits, coping stones also offer a visually appealing finish to any modern or traditional wall, in both domestic and commercially landscaped settings.
Capping stones can transform a dull, boring wall into an eye-catching boundary. Remember, first impressions count and finishing your fencing with a marvellous, contemporary capping stone will add a touch of class to a property, that will be the envy of neighbours for generations to come.

Types of Capping Stones in Ely?
Not all types of coping stones are created equally.
Flat capping stones offer a minimalist style, at an affordable price and are available in a range of colours and materials.
Alternatively, the once-weathered variation is considered more practical. This capping is used to control the direction of the rainwater, ensuring that it doesn’t penetrate the wall and that it doesn’t gather on top of the surface either.
Twice-weathered cappings, as you’ve likely predicted, diverts rainwater in two different directions, and are typically V-shaped allowing more design appeal.
Victorian cappings are an option on period properties, helping any new landscaping feature blend in with the traditional feel of the building.

Essential equipment and tools for laying installation include:
- Capping stones
- Cement (mortar) or coping stone adhesive
- String
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
- Tape measure
A simple guide to installing coping stones to a straight wall.
- Place one coping stone on either end of the wall.
- Using a string line, set this on the highest edge of the coping and run it along to the opposite end. This can help ensure each coping stone is lined up with its adjoining stones.
- Use a spirit level to ensure the coping is levelled as accurately as possible.
- Once confirmed, secure each coping stone to the wall below with wet mortar mix or adhesive, making sure it is placed in the centre with an equal overhang on either side. Use a trowel to help spread the joining material, then use a rubber mallet to confirm the level.
- Secure the rest of the coping stones to the wall, starting from one end and finishing at the other. Taping the joints is recommended to minimise future staining as you do so.
- Make sure the coping stones are level as you lay each one, following the processes mentioned in step three and ensuring there is no run, up or downhill.
Note: All joints should have a difference no bigger than 10mm.
The overhang of a coping stone is often down to personal preference. Typically, a 30mm overhang is standard, meeting most practical and aesthetical purposes.

Coping stones are usually between 30mm and 40mm thick as standard but can be adjusted to thinner depths if necessary. Which thickness is most appropriate will be largely down to the purpose of the wall.

A coping is an architectural fabrication that lays on top of a wall and comes down the sides of it, encasing the brick and providing weather protection.
However, a capping sits on the wall with its edges flush to the width of the wall.
