Provides cover for tours and helps out (10)

I believe the answer is:

upholsters

'provides cover for' is the definition.
(to upholster is to cover in material)

'tours and helps out' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'tours'+'helps'='tourshelps'
'tourshelps' with letters rearranged gives 'UPHOLSTERS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
