We've recently moved into an Edwardian house which has original metal casement windows and frames set into wooden surrounds. I am yet to find a window I can open in the original part of the house although the catches are in working order and the frames are not painted over inside.
Assuming they won't open as they are painted over externally (the exterior was painted last year and I can see that the external hinges have been painted over in many cases), what's the best and neatest way to break the paint seal and open them?
They still have the original glass btw and we are wary of using brute force to open them in case we damage them.
