Blocking after 9 years

We moved in in 2009 and most doors were sticky. They still are. A Best way to cure blocking after this long?

Do you mean that doors are getting stuck in the frames and hence are difficult to open and close?

If so take the door off the hinges, and then plane or saw a bit off as required. (removing and refitting hinges / locks etc if required)

rub the edges of the doors with a candle

No - you need a small clearance - not less friction!

Make sure hinges are tight.

Did post this question on homeownershub the same year as you moved?

Assuming the 'stickyness' is down the stile and, if there is enough clearance between hinged stile and jamb, remove hinge and deepen hinge rebates?
