It sounds as if this is a customers house where you are doing the decorating.

It would be very unwise to take any rads off until you have confirmed how the system is filled.

It would also be prudent to have a friendly heating engineer who you can call if you get into any difficulties.

Around here they are always either under the sink in the utility or in the airing cupboard with the unvented cylinders.
