Sounds like your brake pads are worn down. There is a wear indicator on the pads that squeals as it touches the rotor.

The squeak started when I had the brakes done last year, very faint at first, now its all the time and loud enough my neibor hears me coming, not when I hit the brakes but all the time, Still think brake pads?

If they are squeaking with new pads, then I would check to make sure the backing plate wasn't bent and rubbing on the backside of the rotor. Also check the mounting hardware if anything is contacting the rotor. And check to see if a pebble may be stuck between the rotor and the backing plate.
