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.
