Are you able to offer free deliveries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you contact Tom on 07766 087644 by phone or text, you'll get a speedy response. If it's possible, he'll make arrangements to deliver to your home.

Does Cheam Sports offer a 'click and collect' service?

Yes, in a way, but not by shopping online. By appointment, you can arrange to collect goods from the shop which I can have ready for you at a specific time.

Question 4

Can I get my racket restrung and how quickly can it be ready?

Accepted Answer

Restringing takes place in my Restringing Studio at my home in Reigate. Rackets brought to the shop can often be ready for collection on the next working day. Alternatively, I offer a free home collection and delivery service for a large post code area. Please refer to the 'Restringing' tab on this website for full details. I use a professional quality Babolat Star 5 electronic stringing machine for tennis racket restrings, and a traditional manual machine for squash, badminton and racketball rackets. With nearly three decades of experience, you can be assured of an excellent restringing job. Rackets brought to the shop by 4.00pm can often be ready by 10.00am on the following working day.

Question 5

Are you operating with social distancing, and what are your safety policies?"

Accepted Answer

We will want to make sure our customers stay safe, so the shop will continue to operate according to safety guidelines. The earlier strict measures are no longer in place, but please try to protect more vulnerable members of the community by observing social distancing measures wherever possible.

Question 8

Is the shop ever closed apart from Sundays and Mondays?

Accepted Answer

Very occaasionally, for personal reasons, it is necessary to close for a short time.
Often in the last week of July and/or the first week of August the shop is closed for a short summer break.  Apologies for any inconvenience.
Sometimes, a week's autumn break might be taken in October or a winter break in February.
The shop always remains closed between Christmas day and the new year.

Can you re-tip my darts?

Accepted Answer

We have an on-site re-tipping service available upon request.

Question 11

Do you offer 'Gait Analysis' when I'm buying running shoes?
