Spalling brickwork below ground level

[Dazz]

Hi I'm after some advice.

Part1).

I've recently removed bits of slate and debris from around the sides of my house and noticed a few bricks had spalled. 

The gap is only 6cms from driveway to house, so not sure what to put down ?

I'd like the water to go to drain instead of going down the gap next to the house .

Part 2)

Another section where the water has damaged brickwork, this area has slightly worse spalling, 6 bricks badly damaged.

This soakaway doesn't lead to a drain .

This looks like water running off the paving into the channel.  Can you cut a wider channel and fit an ACO type channel drain?

Might have to. But the gas pipe would be in the way?. Thinking I might fill with concrete and angle it towards drive and just leave a slight gap to the house . But may have slight pooling
