Close mains stop tap slightly, clip and lag piepwork to limit vibrations.

and if that doesn't entirey solve it fit a shock arrester. Note that it is important that this water hamer problem is dealt with. The shockwaves can be so severe as to cause fittings to fail in time - then you've got a flood to deal with.
