"It should still be attached to the rod so let the air out and pull it back through. If not you might need a camera to pinpoint where it’s stuck."

"You would need a retrieval tool, you can buy a odd jobs tool from screwfix and have a go but normally you would need a camera and jet the plunger back up using a jetter, or push it further down into a larger sewer and retrieve it from there"

"You could attempt to use high pressure water jetting to remove, if still stuck ourobotic cutter might be an option."
