sounds like your brake servo is not working,to check-with engine off,pump brake pedal several times to relieve vacuum, then whilst keeping pedal pressed ,start engine,you should feel brake pedal travel further down, if not then your servo is not working.you can check vacuum by removing plastic pipe from servo[push fit in grommet] start engine and check for suction on pipe.
