Decay
If your windows with sash have suffered decay or damage, the good news is they aren't necessarily unfixable. The frames of these windows are typically constructed of high-quality wood.

You'll then have to take off the "pocket covers" which are bits of wood in the side of the frame low down that provide access to the weights (the parting beads run down the middle of them). You may need to use a sharp knife to take them if they are attached by nails or paint. Once the pockets are removed, you can start cutting out any wood rot and apply a high-quality, water-resistant filler. After the filler has dried, a coat of primer should be applied to prevent further decay.
It is a good idea to check inside the window the weights of the sash to ensure that they are balanced. They shouldn't be displaced, or pulling one side more than the other. If they aren't balanced, the sash can drop off its track and cause damage to the frame. The sash weights could be replaced with new ones or a new balancing mechanism can be fitted, which will stop the sashes from bouncing to the wrong side of the window frame.

A typical sash window repair problem is the sash becoming stuck in the frame. This can be caused by an untidy cord or an issue with the sash's rattles. If the latter is the case, then a bit of gentle pressure can help the window to be opened again - or alternatively, the ratchets must be reset.
The sash should be removed from the frame and removing the tracks of dust or dirt can often assist in resolving this problem. Once the tracks are clean, removing any security fittings that could be present. Lastly, carefully removing the sash cords and chains will allow the sash be removed. The staff bead can be sealed with a draught-proof seal to reduce the risk of draughts. This will also improve the paint finish.
