Maintenance to your sash windows every 5 years should be enough to make them last a lifetime.

If your sash windows have been painted shut so that you are unable to slide the sashes they can be easily released so they can be moved freely. You have 2 choices depending on how much paint has been applied to your sash windows.Firstly you can tap a chisel around the window where it has been painted and also use a sharp Stanley knife to gently but firmly cut around where the window has been painted shut, you can now start to try sliding the sashes up and down, if they start to move then keep using the knife to cut around the paint and keep moving the sashes up and down.
