Sounds like worn brake discs. If they wear too much they get high spots where the vent ribs are giving a judder when the brakes are applied.If this is the problem a straight edge placed on the disc will show up indentations between the ribs.
Another possiblity is worn guides on the brake calipers.

Hi - I also had that noise, especially when braking down hill, and when I had the service, they told me they cleaned some dirt out of the brakes. It was fine after that.
