Squeeking front brakes, advice?

Fiesta MK7 1.4 TDCi 2010.

Recently (within the past 2 weeks) fitted new pads and discs to the fronts, but in the past couple of days started to squeek under heavy load as the car slows to a stop at lights/junctions etc.

Had it previously but assumed it was the parts being worn/due for change. Which was the case for a week or so until the annoying squeek has returned!

    Firstly, Hello and welcome Steven

    It could be quite simply you have picked up a small bit of grit and it has became stuck between pad and disc.

    Best to pop wheels off and have a good visual inspection of the pads and disc surface for any signs of scoring. I would remove the pads and refit them.
