Default Capping a brick wall

Replavce that layer with somthing a bit more 'engineeri8ng'


I really feel we need to put some capping on the top to prevent more water
and frost damage.

What would you suggest? Glazed brick? Stone?

Could the wall be cleaned as it looks a bit stained from water soacking
down it?

if its white from carbonate salts use brick acid or patio acid - same
thing. Dilute hydrochloric acid
