Building Insurance renewal - I cant find cheaper on the comparison sites

Hi,
My Buildings Insurance is due to renew on the 28 Jan. Ive tried MoneySupermarket, Compare The Market, Confused.com and Directline, but all other quotes are coming in higher. I have made sure Im comparing like-for-like.
What should I do, just let it auto-renew?
Thanks

    Unless you fancy paying more premiums?

    You could try calling your current insurers and say you've found a cheaper quote and can they do anything to lower their premium.

    Thanks guys. I guess I was just surprised that theres no one cheaper than my current insurere on auto renewal! First time thats happened!
    Perhaps Ill call them and see if they can lower it. (Ive been with them for 10+ years with no claims, so theyve done well out of me).
