FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
  • What is the Cheam Sports policy on wearing masks?
    It is no longer a Government requirement to wear a mask, and of course we no longer require customers to do so, but as a courtesy to other customers and vulnerable family members, please continue to observe social distancing wherever possible.
  • Are you able to offer free deliveries?
    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. Mobile phone will be the quickest method of contact, but you could also email on cheamsports@btconnect.com or use the Contact Form on this website. For safety reasons, payments are being taken in advance by BACS for goods and services that are delivered.
  • 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. As above, please phone or text on 07766 087644, email on cheamsports@btconnect.com or use the Contact Form on this website. Payments for goods to be collected are taken in advance by BACS.
  • Can I get my racket restrung and how quickly can it be ready?
    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.
  • Are you operating with social distancing, and what are your safety policies?"
    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.
  • Can I buy Gift Vouchers for use in the shop?
    We have GIFT VOUCHERS available, for any amount, which can be used any time up to the agreed expiry date (usually 1 year).

Watch out for national advertising about future 'Shop Small' campaign periods, particularly once theCovid restrictions are lifted.
  • Is the shop ever closed apart from Sundays and Mondays?
    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. Announcements will always be made in advance, and notices showing opening times posted in the shop window, and a message explaining opening times will be recorded on the landline, 020 8643 8811.
  • Can you repair the tip on my snooker cue?
    We offer a tip replacement service. The glue needs time to cure, and will need shaping, so this is usually a 24 hour service.
  • Can you re-tip my darts?
    We have an on-site re-tipping service available upon request.
  • Do you offer 'Gait Analysis' when I'm buying running shoes?
    If you don't mind strolling up and down the shop for a while as we check your alignment, your arches, your ankles etc, we can make a good assessment of the type of shoes you will need. if you can also bring with you a previously used pair of shoes, we can learn much from the tread wear pattern from use over time.
