Any tips for a newbie to wfp re wooden windows...got some this aft.

[Arnold Palmer]

No tips to be had really. Watch out for flaky or emulsified paint.

That's about it.

Depends if they are painted or varnished and if the glass has been bedded in putty, varnished I just clean as I would with upvc
as they rarely cause trouble, with painted rub your finger on the paintwork to see how much the paint has degraded and if
bad give all the frames a good scrub first and go back and do the glass, if they have putty (older and listed window frames ) then do the same as painted but don't be supprised if they still don't come up well.

Flush really well esp if they are large georgian type ie wooden beading seperating window into two.

Just the bay window downstairs on one and all the lot on the other...he's a painter and decorator so they are mint.

It depends what style of windows they are.
Casement windows can be problematic especially the inset type where the frame is flush with the mullions and transoms.
I've found very often (especially with older timber windows which have seen a lot of seasonal movement) that water can dribble down from the top opener and creep inside the gap between the opener and transom.   
The stormproof casement windows seem better at keeping water out due to their design but after many years can still let some water in when the frame has been compromised.
Georgian windows can be dodgy as well, especially if you are used to using a high flow.
Wfp exposes defective windows and frames where as a mop and squeegee wouldn't.
Best to start off on a low flow and see how they react, and if no leaks just crank it up.
