Ladder on the roof required

I need someone with the right ladders to fix some pigeon spikes to my TV aerial, which is attached to my chimney. The flying rats are using the aerial as a platform from which to poop on my solar panels. Any recommendations or offers welcome.

Plastic spikes, not metal because that would affect the aerial. Beware that anything will affect the wind loading and may well bring the aerial down during a gale.

Thanks for the tip Ellie.Chris, I knew about using plastic spikes, but not about the wind loading. I probably only needs 2 or 3 spikes to deal with the blighters.
