Abstract
A ladder support (65) supports a ladder resting against guttering attached to a building. The support (65) is attached to the guttering by attachment means (31, 39) in a manner to prevent relative movement. A guide (32, 62) extends from the attachment means to a ladder stop (34, 64) adapted to capture a rail of a ladder to prevent substantial movement of the ladder. The ladder support system further includes a gutter bracket (50, 80) to transfer load from a ladder to a building structure.
