tile-stove setters is the correct British English term in both books.
Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 22, 2020:
@Edith I thought we'd discuss it further here, so maybe a colleague or two can add their input. Here is an English reference, albeit from the forties:

80% of Austria's stove-building businesses
Peer comment(s):

agree Björn Vrooman : Hafnerbetriebe are usually small businesses that build (not just install) stoves and ovens. Cf. Edith's link. In this context, "stove builders" should be fine. It's what they call themselves: https://vestastoves.co.uk/about-us

stove and air-heating trade

Ofen- und Luftheizungsbauer (auch Ofensetzer) ist eine Berufsbezeichnung für Handwerker, die Öfen, beispielsweise Back- und Kachelöfen sowie Kamine und ähnliche Feuerstätten planen, entwerfen, bauen und setzen (nicht installieren). Die ältere Bezeichnung Hafner (ursprünglich allgemein für Töpfer, die auch Ofenkacheln hergestellt haben) ist heute noch in Süddeutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz gebräuchlich. Davon leitet sich auch der Nachname Hafner ab.

Trade includes all businesses/companies
Example sentence:

VEUKO is on the right way to be a professional representation of our stove fitter's trade in Europe" a member said proudly at the end of the annual congress.

Peer comment(s):
