Hi Adrian,
What you describe doesn't sound too bad, I find a little binding after the bike's been stood is to be expected.
But none the less I do agree it's a good idea to clean the brakes more often during winter, as if the binding gets worse then it can have you off when slippy.
Couple of really good vids, the first showing routine cleaning of brakes and the second more deliberate cleaning of the calipers:
Delboy's Garage, Brake disc and caliper wash out.!
Delboy's Garage, Essential Winter brake caliper cleaning.
Hope this helps, Andy
