I have just read this on www.seomoz.org blog and thought it might be useful if we experience problems in future.

Should Webmasters Use 503 Status Codes for Downtime?
503s can help avoid getting a page that's under construction or experiencing problems crawled and indexed, which can be a big problem especially for large, popular sites (watch the video for Rand's example of Disney running into this issue). Matt advocates using 503s in this case. You can't specify when you'd like Google to re-crawl, but they will come back and won't index the maintenance content of the page.
