Hi Zuzak, Good question. Judging by taginfo, "building:material=pebbledash" does seem to be the consensus. As for the low usage, the tag itself is barely used in proportion to the number of mapped buildings in the UK. Even for brick there are just shy of 100,000 entries in taginfo. Other things to bear in mind are: it's an attribute that cannot be seen from aerial imagery, only from the ground; pebbledash continues to fall out of favour as a treatment generally and is more prevalent in some parts of the country than others (I think it's still often found in Scotland). These may explain the low uptake of the tag, but it is the right one.
