Water How can I check for possible damage after water leaking into loft chimmneychimney?

I had a loose tile on the roof in front of the chimmneychimney breast and noticed that in the loft the internal chimmneychimney breast was a bit damp. Since then had it repaired (i.e. the tile tapped down and the flashing secured. 

I once saw a surveyor test water moisture in wall with a little machine. I would like to know if theirthere has been damage to the chimmneychimney and wondered if I could buy one to test. Just really worried that this is a serious problem and I have been ripped off!

How can I check to make sure there is no permanent damage?
