Conservatory - how to remove sealant

[chuckles]

Hi - any advice welcome please. We have a lean-to conservatory built on the back of our house, 3.5 years old, low wall with upvc frame and polycarbonate roof. Where the upvc frame joins the house wall the gap is sealed with what looks like a translucent sealant. On one side this appears to have shrank away from the frame leaving a gap. The sealant is still attached to the wall of the house (made of reconstituted(?) Bath stone). I'm thinking that this sealant should be removed before resealing, but don't know how to remove the old sealant, which is very firmly attached to the wall. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

if it does pull off cut it right back with stanley knife.

If all else fails, you can use silicon remover, the stuff from scewfix is very good.

Great - thanks for the advice, I'll try the stanley knife first then get some silcone remover for the brickwork. Thanks again.
