We establish long-time existence of the normalized Yamabe flow with positive Yamabe constant on a class of manifolds that includes spaces with incomplete cone-edge singularities. We formulate our results axiomatically so that they extend to general stratified spaces as well, provided certain parabolic Schauder estimates hold. The central analytic tool is a parabolic Moser iteration, which yields uniform upper and lower bounds on both the solution and the scalar curvature.
