I am surprised someone has not answered this already.
The roof space is common property. If the upstairs occupants want insulation, they would need to raise a by law.
For the OC to install insulation, it would considered to be an enhancement of the property, which requires a special resolution to be passed.
Since a special resolution requires no vote to be cast against it, you have the power to oppose it. (Not so – see Item 3 below – JimmyT)
Now if the upstairs occupants want to raise a by law, include that they pay for the installation as well as maintains it.
