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.
A ladder support bracket for receiving a rung of a ladder intended to be placed against a gutter of a building and thus restraining the ladder from sideways or downwards movement, the bracket formed from a unitary rigid sheet material, comprising a first flat region, at least one fastener secured to said first flat region and being adapted to be secured to a rigid portion of the building, a second region integrally formed with the first region and adapted to span over the gutter, and a third region integrally formed with the second region and in the form of a cradle of generally concave shape adapted to receive and support the rung of the ladder so that when the ladder is in use and is adjacent the gutter, a rung of the ladder is received in the cradle.
