A slightly late update....

Checked everything, but couldn't find anything obviously wrong. That noise has also now gone, so I can only assume that it was a slightly sticky caliper due to the month that I didn't use the car, and that it is no longer sticky. The brakes are certainly working properly though, as it pulls up straight from speed, and the front wheels can be locked up.

There is however a very occasional squeak / squeel (not worn pads - they have plenty of materal left) so presumably the pads need a smear of copperslip on the back?
