The first thing I'd do Chris is remove the sliding caliper, thoroughly wire brush all the contact surfaces to remove the inevitable corrosion, and sparingly apply a suitable lubricant (which isn't going to find its way onto friction surfaces).
Whilst you're at it, check that the piston moves freely when the brake pedal is depressed in a controlled manner.
