Don't know about where you live, but around here houses can settle causing windows to stick and not work properly.

The majority of failed friction hinges that I see is down to neglect.
An occasional clean off with a stiff paintbrush to remove dust and spiders webs. Followed by some silicon spray for the frame track where the slider goes up and down and around the top cap. Some 3in1 oil for the hinge pivot points.
Whilst your at it, give the locking mechanism a squirt of 3in1 as well.

uPVC window help.
I moved into a new (old!) house recently and my bathroom window is not closing at the top. It was very hard to close it - it was like there's an issue with the runners.
The bathroom is absolutely baltic and I would like to try to fix today/this weekend.
Anyone have any idea what to do? I don't want to open it again until I have a rough idea in case I can't close it again...
