All original roof and associated masonry detailing such as crowsteps, skews, skewputts, skewends, gargoyles, decorative water spouts, eaves cornices, blocking courses, parapets,
balustrades and associated ornaments should be carefully repaired or replaced in matching natural materials.
Decorative features such as brattishing, finials, domes, fleches, decorative roof ventilators, eaves and bargeboards should similarly be repaired or replaced to match, or where they
have been lost, carefully reproduced in appropriate materials.

generally,
normally this would be with lime mortar or lime mortar putty.
however, you can use modern flashing and mortar or resins, if required.
