Best way to get rid of birds on the roof?

We’ve got pigeons landing and hanging around constantly. Just wondering what others have done that actually keeps them away.

"Spikes or ridge wire along the ridge of the roof and spikes on any landing areas. You could also use a 'fire gel' instead of spikes. Ensure that whoever does the installation are suitably experienced to work at height and have appropriate insurance."
