The prices vary enormously as in the example link below....

B&Q also do some, generally the about £15-30 meters need the prongs sharpened to make sure they go in, the about £50-100 ones are muxh better, and the over £150 are professional ones that are the best.  you only get what you pay for!  I would look for a digital readout, and not the really cheap ones that make a noise to indicate damp.

we bought a b and q one was fine  its very sensitive will easily pick it up .we bought ours new on ebay  from this seller much cheaper  bought from her.

She got another one at the moment heres the link if your interested
