The more you clean them, you get to learn which windows you can fly round and which ones you need to take your time on (dribbles etc...).

I have a couple of houses with wooden frames in poor condition, i don't touch the frames on theese, the one house has sash windows which can be a nightmare even with frames in good condition.

Bit of skill though and they come up mint every time ;)

flaking paint is not a problem after the first clean!
If you are worried about water ingress why dont you just trad them?
