Abstract: The invention relates to a covering for the raised surrounding edge of a roof having holders (1) and covering profiles (11), in which single-piece, angle-shaped holders (1) possess flat surfaces (5, 6) on their shanks (3, 4), which externally grip in dose contact over the end borders (9, 10) of the covering profiles (11) and hold the profiles firmly in position against the raised roof edge. The covering for the raised surrounding edge of a roof is extremely simple to assemble because, after mounting and adjustment of the holder (1), the end of the covering profile (11) is simply pushed in behind the flat surfaces of the shanks of the holder (1), eliminating any need for extra work of fastening the profile (11) to the border of the roof.
