About Us

Why choose KT Kitchens by YT Joinery?

We are a family run business who are honest, transparent, and genuinely want to give our clients long lasting, quality joinery that not only looks great but functions equally as well.

Value is a feeling, and you will forever feel the value in our kitchens. Whilst we work within our clients’ budgets and communicate costings during the design process, we always put our best price forward the first time. Our hardware is first class and comes with a lifetime guarantee as does our workmanship.

KT Kitchens design consultants work with you to identify and develop a design concept. From the concept we will draft a 3D image and present that to you, from here we will negotiate further edits and once your design is finalised, we can move forward to manufacturing. Our 3D software, VORTEK is lifelike and has virtual reality capabilities. We can upload a paint colour, stone choice, splashback and many more individual design aesthetics to ensure nothing is left to the imagination.
Our highly skilled joiners at YT Joinery are equipped with the most up to date and technological advanced machinery. Our joiners also possess traditional carpentry skills creating an exceptional combination to manufacture and install your joinery using best practice joinery techniques. Our external trades are trusted and highly regarded in their field.

Katie takes great pride in the relationships formed with past and current clients. Katie will be across your project and will be available for consultations with other suppliers, to put your mind at ease about those tough decisions and happy to answer questions as they arise throughout the process. 

How did KT Kitchens come about?

KT Kitchens and YT Joinery is a marriage some might say was made in heaven (ha ha). KT Kitchens was created the same year that Ben (YT) and Katie (KT) were married, 2019.
In all seriousness, KT Kitchens came about after a need was identified in Ben and Katies established manufacturing business, YT Joinery. That need was for a Kitchen Designer that could also project manage.
YT Joinery since starting in 2012 had been focussed on manufacturing for other joiners and commercial work. Occasionally Ben would have a small window and be able to design, build and install a kitchen for a friend or referral and in turn that would create more demand for his craftmanship. So, to be able to service these referrals and keep the commercial and residential aspects of the business separate, KT Kitchens by YT Joinery was created.
YT Joinery has a strong history of repeat clients, word-of-mouth referrals and solid relationships with other industry professionals. KT Kitchens by YT Joinery is now following in the same footsteps with all of their completed kitchens to date been from referred customers.
Although KT Kitchens is in its infancy you can trust in the legacy of YT Joinery. YT Joinery is now in its 10th year operating out of its almost 1000 square metre workshop, located at Bagdad. To find out more about YT Joinery head to their website www.ytjoinery.com.au or follow them on Facebook.

A little bit on Katie and Ben…

Prior to YT Joinery Katie had had a stellar career in hospitality, functions and events. Katie thrives on being organised, meeting new people and bringing their vision into reality, a skill set that transfers seamlessly into kitchen design. 

Since meeting Ben in 2013, Katie has covered several key roles at YT Joinery, supporting Ben in the business’ growth and success. Over the years, like Ben, Katie has attended many industry nights and through networking created her own connections and relationships.

 In 2016 Ben and Katie travelled to Germany to attend Ligna, the world trade show for woodworking, it was there that Katie’s passion for design was ignited. Katie is currently studying Cert IV in Kitchen and Bathroom Design, is an active member of the KBDi and has significant industry mentors.

Ben had a keen interest in the cabinet making and joinery industry from a young age. 

His parents were both in business during Ben’s upbringing and the drive to succeed was passed on. Ben started his apprenticeship as a Cabinet Maker/Joiner straight out of college.

 YT Joinery was established in 2012, with a large investment in the latest technology and machinery. 

Ben is passionate about continuous improvement and education, this is evident at the workshop in both its layout and capacity.
