It is a fairly basic job for a heating/ventilation sheet metal workshop.
You have to remove all the old ducting and fit all new. Chances are, that the old duct only vents into the ceiling space, which isn't legal.
Remove all the old stuff and have new ducting (probably 150mm dia) installed and to vent out the eaves/soffit or to a vent cap out through the roof. If it is on an outside wall it might be possible to go through the wall.
If you have a metal roof and can't get the duct to the eaves/soffit or it is too far away, then get a plumber to run it out through the roof. If the duct can be run to the soffit, then an electrician or a plumber should be able to do it.
All the duct and vents can be purchased at an electrical wholesaler or large hardware shop. You don't need to get anything made.
