Based at Ballysimon Road for most of these four decades, this family owned and managed company has a fabulous premises back to back with City East Retail Park and conveniently, any amount of free parking.
While its January sale is still on, PJ Matthews expertise in plumbing and heating matters might be of more interest to the consumer, in these days of BER certification and regard for energy efficiency.
“We’ve always offered a comprehensive service in plumbing and heating, but perhaps our bathroom showrooms have over taken us in some peoples eyes,” suggests managing director Noel Keane. “We sell stoves and other stores do too, but we stock and sell and can advise you on all the parts that go with it for installation. Flues, boilers, pipes, thermostats, everything you need for efficient heating and plumbing repairs and installation, PJ Matthews can provide”.
Being an old Limerick firm has been no inhibitor in gearing PJ Matthews to meet opposition head in contemporary bathroom suites. Accessories and furniture can also turn-around existing bathrooms without bursting the wallet, or opt for something completely new.
“We offer a new three-dimensional design service to customers, enabling them to visualise their ideal wetroom or bathroom before they commit to purchase,” Liam points out. “All you need is your plan”.
Their technology can introduce different layouts, styles of sanitary ware, background colours, bathroom furniture and where the radiators go. Why not underfloor heating? Another speciality at this outfit.
“All our suites are white, and free standing baths are popular. Whirlpools are still selling well too. Wet rooms? Irish people are now well travelled abroad and have seen the advantages of a wet room on the Continent”. Able to cope with a large showerhead and pumped plumbing, their walk-in ease has many advantages over conventional showers.
Still, PJ Matthews Limerick can provide a suite or design to suit every budget and has impressive ideas for luxury lane, with bathroom furniture being in serious demand.
