Hi all, I have a gap at the front of my house at the very bottom of the brickwork where it meets the floor outside. It looks like this has been concreted in the past and has broken. My question is should this be filled all around the house to prevent water from going in? Thanks

Hi,
I can't tell from your pictures where the damp proof course is (if you have one!).
If your DPC is above this, then yes. Remove the old broken bits of concrete and refill with a mortar mix.
If your DPC is below this, you may have to remove the edge of the paving to make sure it's not bridging the DPC and letting moisture in.
