When we study the Passive Voice we usually learn this structure: HAVE SOMETHING DONE.
Jill is having her roof repaired.
have + object + past participle
The meaning of this sentence is that Jill is not repairing the roof herself, the man on the roof is repairing it for her.
I need to have my car repaired really means that I don't know how to repair it and I need someone to repair it for me.
