I would wipe the whole of the counter balance springs with some vaseline to coat them. That will be easier said than done if you don't have the head mounted to unwind them.

If your loft is sealed so it doesn't get a draft through it, then put one or two 120W single bar heaters up there to keep the chill/damp off. Thats only 4 60w bulb equiavalents. Will also keep the house warmer as temp differential will be less between loft and upstairs rooms.
If it gets a draft through it then not much point putting low power heaters in there.
