plasterers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'does' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'their work make them go totally up the wall?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'go' could be 'last' ('last' can be a synonym of 'go') and 'last' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
