She has her house repainted every year.

We’ve had a new bathroom put in.

You ought to have your roof repaired.

How often do you have your car serviced?

I don’t have the flat cleaned, I clean it myself.

The flat was in good condition, so we didn’t have it redecorated.

When did you have those photos taken?

We use have + object + past participle when we arrange (and usually pay) for someone
to do something for us, either because we can’t or don’t want to do it ourselves.
Compare:

I cleaned my car yesterday. (= I did it myself.)

I had my car cleaned yesterday. (= I paid someone to clean it for me.)

• We can use have something done in any tense and with modal verbs

Have is the main verb, and is stressed. We use auxiliary verbs (do, did, etc.) to make
questions and negatives

If we want to say who did the work, we use by, e.g.

We had our wedding photos taken by the same photographer you used.

I had the central heating checked by British Gas.
