I have just put new brake rotors, pads and wheel bearing's and seals on my car over the weekend, i bedded them in properlly, but the next day i noticed they squeal when i use the break un- less i've been on a long stop start drive.
how can i get rid of the squeal?
or would it be the pads.
or should i just lock the breaks up and see if the sorts it out  jks

Are all the shims in place? I found them a bugger to fit.

Check there are no little tabs touching hte rotor surface - not sure what they are called. nut can be easy to miss and make shitloads of noise.

u can do 2 things 1 is take the pads out and find a flat bit of concreate and shamfer the ends of the pads in other words on a angle take the ends off the pads! 2nd u put some anti squeal on the backs of the pads!
plus are they really cheap pads? plus when u take them out rub the shine of the face of the pads on the concreate!

Make sure you didn't get any grease or oil on the face of the pads. This attracts dirt and muck and will give you a squeel or even a scrapeing sound.
You can use grease on the back of the pads instead of anti-squeel. put it where the caliper and piston touch the backing plate. I use Molibdimum sulfide grease and have never had a problem. Well not entirely true, my brakes are a little noisy now but that is because I got the face dirty.
