A family have been left living out of a suitcase after flooding ruined their £550,000 bungalow - and uncovered asbestos in every room. David and Jacqueline Setterfield have been living in a hotel for five weeks after their home of 15 years flooded, and revealed dangerous asbestos. The pair, both 58, had wanted to sell their home, in Bexleyheath, Kent, and retire to Spain, but now they have had to put their plans on hold, because it'll take at least six months and £100,000 to rid their four-bed bungalow of the dangerous chemical. Semi-retired electrician David, and wife Jacqueline flew back from their holiday in Spain after a neighbour told them their house was flooded in early May.
