A ladder support bracket (11) receives a rung of a ladder intended to be
placed against the gutter (19) of a building and thus restraining it, and
hence the ladder, from sideways or downwards movement. The bracket
includes a first region (12) for affixing to a rigid portion of the
building, a second region (13) which spans the gutter, and a third region
(14) in the form of a cradle for receiving the rung of the ladder. The
ladder support bracket preferably has the first region for fixing the
bracket to a rigid portion of the building in the form of a relatively
planar sheet like portion which may be attached by suitable fasteners,
such as screws (22, 23) or the like, to the rafters (18) or other timber
members of the roof support structure of the building, such as battens
(21), this portion then being covered by the roofing material, whether
tiles or metal roofing.
