Can I stop Google (and other searches) indexing my subdomain?

I've just looked up my website in Google, to see if the sitemap had changed to reflect some new content and pages, and I have a bit of a problem. I use a third-party hosted toolset, which is linked via a CNAME record on my host server.

So lets say...

My Site = www.mysite.co.uk
Toolkit = www.clients.mysite.co.uk
The CNAME on my host says: clients.mysite.co.uk > thirdparty.toolset.com 

But when I look at the Google sitemap, I see several of the clients.mysite.co.uk pages listed as well - many of which I don't actually use, and so don't want the public to see.

I can't make any changes to the third party site, so can't put a robots.txt file in the root of clients.mysite.co.uk (as it's actually thirdparty.toolset.com), or make any changes to the .htaccess there either. Of course I can make changes to anything in the normal www.mysite.co.uk domain...

Any idea what I should do to stop the indexing happening in the subdomain, and also preferably to quickly remove what has already appeared in Google?
