Seagull deterrents

[trixilator]

The extension of our seaside house has a flat roof and the racket of seagulls keeps us awake in the wee hours. The breeding season has just commenced and we are under constant nesting activity. It sounds like they're playing rugby or river-dancing - they squabble and fight for hours! We know there are all sorts of deterrents on the market (all very expensive) netting, spikes, wires and electronic devices and wonder if anyone who has overcome this nuisance would care to advise which route they took. Help urgently needed. Many thanks

I noticed that there were a lot of modern type buildings being built in our area a few years ago with a common theme, they all had blue roofs which to be honest dont look that good, but a builder told me the reason is that seagulls wont land on them, let alone nest as they dont like the colour, dont know why thou.
