How to remove silicone / mastic from brickwork

How to remove silicone mastic from brickwork.

First remove as much silicone as possible with a sharp scraper then with a drill and this attachment you can easily remove the rest.

I like your idea but one problem i have, i had a second outside door taken out as we had New inner double glazed door & side widows put in. I have this same issue of the silicone but it's not on brick it's on sandstone, i have no clue how to remove it as the sandstone will be highly marked if i did this . It's a block of sandstone sides and across the top and looks a mess and a light colour so i don't want to use a chemical as it might discolour it too.
