Worn out or sticking pads can do this. Just because the outside one looks good doesn't mean the inside one is ok.

since i got it lowered its been doing it so the mechanic must of put the brake on wrong or too tight or something cos it was a mobile mechanic

your mechanic wouldn't need to touch the brakes so thats not the issue here

At least check the pads/disks for wear.

YES ! ,
but before you do =
with the wheel raised run the wheel forward + backwards to see if you can make it squeak,
carefully look around to make sure there is'nt something else rubbing,
then take wheel off and look deeper,
brakes, etc,

I hope you find something..!!

could have removed the caliper to prevent its dropping and stretching/damaging the flexi pipe
