Jack up then use axel stands, as you may have to use a lot of force to undo those carrier &/or caliper bolts. ;)

Whereabouts in Brum do you live?

Other side to you mate, Bartley green.

Is it also worth using the copper adhesive on the back of the pads?

yes it is should stop the annoying squeak/squeal when the weathers hot and stops the pad sticking in the calipers also
