What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very good

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Homeless Help in Basildon none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.
