Milestone 4 of 5 Respond to a poor food hygiene rating in Wales

Step 4: Fix the issues and request a re-inspection

Once you have addressed the problems identified in your inspection report, you can request a re-inspection from your local authority. There is a fee (around 219 to 255 pounds, charged by the local authority), and there is no limit on the number of re-rating requests — but you must show genuine improvements have been made each time. Make sure all improvements are genuinely embedded in your daily routine before requesting — the re-inspection is a full assessment, not a quick check.
