Upgrading gully

It is most likely broken and leaking in the ground, so you will need to dig it out and replace with new plastic.

Circular cast iron gulley Grids - they come in various sizes. Just google for them.
Your upstand chamber shows water so reach down with a gloved hand and clear any silt from the bottom.
Post a pic of the larger yard area context if you want more info?

All I can see are the grates, is there anything that I can get with a housing also? So it can cover the 8” pipe.
So I shouldn’t see any water in the pipe?
Your upstand shows a socket end, the socket acts as a limited kind of hopper.
Check hoppers - one of them with a "housing" might squeeze into your 8" diameter?
If its for a Soakaway then no water should be seen - the upstand goes into a bend and drainage.
If the gulley is connected to the sewage system then the upstand drops into a trap with water in it 24/7.

What's the diameter of the pipe, (not the socket)? Assuming 4", try a McAlpine DC-11 into that, then a gully hopper into that.
