mine always used to do that till i serviced the calipers - caliper servicing kits available from lighthouse for about £15ish - in kit is new piston and seals - worked for me and saved the cost of expensive new caliper

I had mine stick once without knowing about it.  It stopped me when it stopped fully and it felt the wheel was throwing itself off [-o<
