The invention relates to a ladder stabiliser that obviates the existing requirement for a leaning ladder to be physically secured to a building and/or “footed” near the ground by a second person. The stabiliser comprises a base (12) for supporting, in use, both feet of a ladder (100); and upstanding walls (14, 16, 18, 20) defining an open-topped three-dimensional space for accommodating, and at least partially enclosing, the lower distal ends of a ladder (100) at a predetermined optimum angle of inclination. At least one wall (14, 16, 18, 20) extends above the height of the lowermost rung of an inclined ladder (100). A pivotable wall (18) is openable to allow the ladder (100) to be inserted and removed from the stabiliser. The stabiliser may be provided with removable ballast weights (30), and adjustable clamps (36).
