Practical advice- late flight back to Gatwick

Later on next month I am travelling back from Spain to England. We arrive back to Gatwick on Saturday night, due to land at about 2130hrs.

So I have got single Gat Ex tickets for the four of us back to Vic. And if all goes to plan we should be fine to make the last District home to West London, if not there is a night bus from Vic that takes us home.

But my question is what happens if we are so late arriving (it does happen) that we miss the last Gat Ex train into London? Will BA put us up in hotels at Gatters to get a train back in the morning? (the single way Gat Ex tickets have two days validity so are fine on the Saturday or Sunday).

I just don't want us to land say 2 hours late, and then another hour or so later clear customs, immigration and baggage reclaim, then be stranded !

Also two of the group are booked on their train home up North from Kings X the next day at about 3pm (they are staying with me Saturday night).

I may be paranoid, but like to prepare for the worst.

Thanks
