Resin driveway advise

No the ground floorbin house is all concrete, no wooden floors or air bricks.
 
End caps are not an issue where the water is draining in the ground anyway

I'll disagree. That end is right next to the house. A couple of leaves in there to obstruct the flow just slightly and it will end up running out of the end and under the floor.

Given the likely age of the house, it's unlikely to have a DPM under that concrete floor, so directing water away is critical. Obviously the soil will contain water, it's not black vs white, but the lack of an end cap does show a lack of care.

You could probably retrofit one, perhaps after chopping off some of its clips. Slide it in then seal inside with decent sealant.

These leaves, are they Gunnera?

Each end is nearly 2m away from the house. And the OP said it's connected to a soakaway so there's an outlet.
 
Oh yeah, my mistake. Thought the garden wall shown in the piccie was the house wall.

Never mind. Nice garden wall by the way. Looks as well built as a house.
