brake pads catching or skim plate thing behind brake disc catching?
get your hand in and bend the metal plate back a bit if that don't work take the pads off and re-copper grease them

can this happen with put even pressing the brakes and only seems to happen on 1 side on the left side when i turn right....
it will go away when brakes are pressed if its pads, plate will still make a noise though.
mine used to do it when turning left from drivers wheel, I just took the wheel off, shouted at it and bent it back, was fine after that.
could also be something to do with wheel bearing or cv joint? but my first option is the easiest.
is the cv boot split?

ive taken my car to the garage and they say its becuase off play in a ball joint ...... and part will be about £60 +VAT ..... then labour to be added on too im not to sure if i should go ahead and have it done or does this sound alot? and is it true that a ball joint could be becuase of my squeak as the man that was looking at my car looked a bit puzzled when trying to find the problem ...?

I think Dan has suggested the most likely possibility. It could be just a small stone stick in the pad groove, I had a bit of twig do this once.
