hey guys.

Recentley in my livingroom i have built a partition wall in front of my chimney breast so that all wires and cables hide behind the plasterboard wall. i had coving all the way round but with building this wall i had to remove this section of cove. the wall is all plastered and ready for coving to be fixed. however when i am cutting the external mitres for the chimney breast they do not seem to be meeting properly, its meets at the bottom but does not meet at the top it runs out leaving a gap of about 8-10mm.
i have done coving before but have always had experienced work mates to keep me right whenever i have had any problems, hence the reasons for asking you guys who may have the experience and the know-how to geet over this problems.
thanks for your time.

Offer up the pieces beforehand in the correct positions and bisect the angle on the ceiling edge.
 
How old is the exisitng coving, and is the new the same profile/dimensions.....some cove makes differ and this can cause problems as such.

Could be as said above, so bisect the angle...
