The hinges on some of our windows are rusting badly and making the windows stiff and difficult to open and close. Up until now I have cleaned them up when I paint the window, greased the pin, and they are then fine for a couple of years before they need doing again. However I'm getting a bit fed up with doing it, especially the upstairs ones where it is an absolute pain to lift the window back in to position whilst simultaneously screwing it back into the frame, and I'm increasingly aware that I won't always be able to do it, and also I shouldn't need to. This is a typical example - not one of the worst - but the easiest to photograph.
SWMBOs answer is to spend the thick end of £10k on 12 replacement UPVC windows and 2 external doors throughout (yes - really), but given that the wood is still pretty sound, there has to be an easier/more economic way. Are hinges like these still easily sourced, and are they available in something that won't rust? Looking for something that is not necessarily maintenance free, but lower maintenance, and something that will leave rather more change out of £10k !!!!!!!
