Whats wrong with my brakes

Recently I had my brakes repaired - new pads, disks etc but when I picked the care up it had the following problem. When braking in traffic or sliding down a hill under brakes just near the end of braking a noise (fairly loud and perhaps with a subtle vibration in the brake pedal) will come from the brake area and the brake peddle will go soft for a moment and the car will slide forward for a few feet. After a couple of weeks of driving like this the brake pedal starting going really hard at times. When I went back to the mechanic he diagnosed that the accumulator needed a new diaphragm so I have had that done. Now the brake pedal doesnt go hard but I still have the first problem which is quite unnerving as you dont quite know where you will pull up. If any one can give me any idea what the problem may be I would be extremely grateful.
