I have just had a new steel garage door fitted, and it has left a
small (gap 1-2cm high) between the top of the door frame and the
brickwork of the garage itself.


My (no doubt stupid) question is, what should I use to fill the gap?
Cement or a mixture of cement/sand etc?


Please let me know what you think, as its a simple job, but I really
don't know what to use.


get installer back to finish the job?
using
squirty expanding foam?

I don't want to use squirty expanding foam, I want a nice smooth
cement finish to paint over.

3 parts sand to 1 part cement? Just cement?


but what will your "nice smooth cement" stick to and for how long?
