Old flat renovation in Noida — before and after transformations
10-20 year old flats in Noida need more than paint. Plumbing has corroded, electrical wiring is undersized, bathroom waterproofing is failing, modular furniture is worn out. Aarna Constructions has transformed 25+ old Noida flats since 2017 — real before-and-after renovations with full re-plumbing, rewiring, new modular, and structural modifications where needed.
Common issues in 10+ year old Noida flats
- Plumbing corrosion: galvanised iron pipes from the era rust; joints leak slowly; water pressure drops
- Electrical undersized: original 1KW-2KW sanction cannot handle modern AC + geyser + microwave + washing machine
- Bathroom waterproofing failure: sunken-floor waterproofing typically fails 8-12 years; leaks to flat below inevitable
- Tile debonding: hollow sound when tapped; loose tiles cracking underfoot
- Kitchen modular worn: 10-year-old carcass has shutter issues, hardware failures, chimney capacity inadequate
- Paint moisture damage: walls behind wardrobes / on external-facing sides show damp, efflorescence
- Doors / windows: wooden doors warp; aluminium windows leak air and noise
- Flooring: marble polish gone dull; vitrified tiles crack lines; wooden flooring swollen at joints
- Electrical fittings: old switches fail; MCB board undersized
- False ceiling: POP sagging; junctions cracked

Six things that always need replacement in old Noida flats
GI water pipes
15+ year old GI is corroded inside. Replace with CPVC during reno. Rs 35-60k for full flat.
Electrical wiring (5A only)
Old flats often have only 5A circuits. Modern appliances need 15A. Rewire mandatory.
Window frames (steel)
Old steel windows rust + lose alignment. Replace with powder-coated aluminium. Rs 8-15k per window.
Bathroom waterproofing
Old waterproofing membrane fails after 8-10 years. Strip to slab + redo. Mandatory for warranty.
Wooden flush doors (warped)
Old flush doors swell + warp. Replace with HDF doors. Rs 4-8k per door installed.
Kitchen carpenter cabinets
Old site-built cabinets sag + swell. Replace with modular. Rs 1.4-3.5L for full kitchen.
Frequently asked
Is renovating an old Noida flat worth it vs buying new?
Usually yes — old Noida flats (Sec 18-50) are in established neighbourhoods with mature trees, schools, markets within walking distance. Renovation Rs 6-15L vs Rs 40-90L premium for similar-spec new construction.
How do I know if my old flat has structural issues?
Check: ceiling cracks (hairline = OK, wider than 2mm = structural), water seepage from above (waterproofing failure on upper floor), wall plumb (use a level — walls leaning >5mm need investigation). Structural engineer site visit costs Rs 3-5k.
Does old flat renovation need society NOC?
Yes, in all Noida societies. Old societies (Sec 18-50) often have stricter restrictions on work hours + material delivery. We coordinate with RWA on day 1.
What surprises usually emerge during old flat renovation?
Top three: hidden water damage behind tiles (1 in 3 projects), corroded electrical conduits (2 in 3 projects), unauthorised previous-owner alterations affecting structure (1 in 5 projects). We allow 8-12% contingency for these.
