The emulsion should take on top of teh undercoat providing the undercoat covers the whole ceiling. If its in patches or only half covered then finish it off first with whatever is up there. You should be fine to paint on primer and undercoat with gloss. Take a look at our preparinmg woodwork for painting project.
