Patio drain issues

Hi

I'm after some advice on remedy options for x2 foul water drains (from sinks and dishwasher ) that currently run into an ACO drain fitted by patio installer.

The pipes that were there had open grids but longer wastes before, now they are too short and overspill runs in the ACOs.

Can I just extend/replace the existing wastes so they go through the ACO into the original grids or need some other solution?

I was also considering adding some end stops around the wastes? To force the rainwater into the x2 downpipes at either end instead?

OP,
The patio installer didn't know what he was doing - the job needs re-doing by someone with an understanding of ACO, gullies & drainage.
