Kitchen Extractor Fan Exit to Outside

Hi All
Before I have my new kitchen installed I need to make provisions so that my extractor hood fan has an exit to outside. The old hood was filter based so wasn’t much use. Could someone advise what the best route to do this is. My fitter is only experienced at fitting and this is a bit out of his league. So might have to get someone in to do the job.
As it currently stands the kitchen is in a extended part of the house. Unfortunately there is no way to exit though any of the side walls. The only option I can see is through the roof. The roof is flat with a slight gradient and there is nothing on top of the kitchen, so the roof is the ideal location. Is it possible to have some kind of small chimney installed, obviously allowing the extraction but also stopping the rain water from getting in.
If it is possible what kind of cost am I looking at.
Regards

You want something like this: Flat Roof Vent
Just make sure it is properly sealed where it exits the roof.0
