You have probably got a high spot of corrosion on the discs where moisture has been sat under the pads. This can take a while to get rod of but some hard braking for a few hundred miles may bed everything back in. Failing that a rub down or light skim may work or you may have to fork out on new discs.

So it's just a case of breaking gentaly again like re-bedding the pads in,

There's no need to strip them down to investigate further?
Cheers guys
