Banging Pipes

Ok, bare with me on this one ...
We bought our new home earlier this year as a renovation project. We have had a whole new heating system, new pipes and Worcester Bosch combi boiler. We didn't have the electrics done until afterwards so when the boiler was commissioned it was then turned off. The man who came to plaster took all the radiators off, so must have drained them. They have not been put back on. The boiler is now on and we have hot water but we have kept the radiator section turned off. In our kitchen we have 2 pipes waiting to be boxed in, one of them has started vibrating/banging at strange times of the day (e.g 1am). Could anyone give any suggestions to what we could possibly try to stop the banging whilst we are waiting for the boiler company to get back in touch with us.
Thanks

It's probably an air lock. As a short-term fix, wrap some towels around them, very tightly.0
